Nozomi and Sophos integrate IT and OT signals: include factory equipment in investigations

On 13 August, Nozomi Networks and Sophos announced integration of Vantage with Sophos Fusion, bringing industrial device information into IT security investigations. For businesses managing both offices and workshops, the priority is to clarify equipment dependencies and response responsibilities, rather than apply standard computer isolation procedures directly.

Source Facts

Nozomi Networks and Sophos announced a partnership on 13 August, bringing Vantage OT telemetry, asset intelligence and threat data into Sophos Fusion. This can be correlated with endpoint, network, cloud and identity signals for security teams to use in investigations.

The vendors say the integration reduces switching between consoles and supports SOAR enrichment and response workflows. This describes the solution; it does not mean all industrial equipment is now protected. Relevant teams must confirm actual support, permissions and production safety constraints.

Next Steps for Businesses / Editorial Observations

Decisions on OT incident response must involve production or facility owners. Understand the equipment's purpose and the impact of downtime before configuring alerts, remote access and response processes.

Next steps you can take

  • Inventory factory, facilities and IoT equipment connected to office networks, recording owners and the impact of downtime.
  • Agree OT alert verification and response steps with production teams, then test the data and permissions needed for integration.
