Nozomi Networks, a vendor of OT, IoT, and CPS security products, on Thursday announced the all-new Vantage IQ, an in-house trained private AI assistant for OT/IoT security teams. Cyberattacks against critical infrastructure are at historic highs, and the shortage of skilled OT/IoT defenders poses a strong protection crisis. Organizations need solutions that not only serve as teammates, but also strengthen their defenses in a rapidly changing threat landscape.
Vantage IQ is more than just an upgrade. This represents the next era of AI innovation to solve the biggest challenges in OT/IoT security. For the first time, OT/IoT security teams will be equipped with a context-aware AI assistant to deliver instant, actionable intelligence and guidance to all analysts, operators, and executives at scale, speed, and accuracy.
Unlike commercial AI assistants, Vantage IQ’s intelligence is built on your organization’s unique assets, communications, vulnerabilities, and threat data, ensuring all answers are relevant and secure. SOC Analysts are equipped with highly customized insights with AI-guided triage, investigation, and response, giving CISOs and leaders board-ready insights on demand and in plain language.
“The days of one-size-fits-all AI are over,” said Andrea Carcano, co-founder and CPO of Nozomi Networks. “With Vantage IQ, the world’s most advanced OT/IoT cybersecurity AI assistant joins your team, empowering defenders to defeat their adversaries and giving leaders the clarity they need to protect what matters most.”
The platform introduces several key innovations, including private, context-aware, large-scale language models trained on an organization’s specific OT and IoT asset, vulnerability, threat, and risk data, enabling insights that general-purpose AI models cannot provide. AI-driven guidance empowers analysts to support rapid triage, investigation, and incident response tailored to your environment.
The solution also provides executive-ready insights, enabling CISOs and senior leaders to gain board-level intelligence through natural language interactions without the need for technical translation. Actionable recommendations and remediation guidance embedded directly throughout the Vantage interface further improves ease of use for analysts and operators, enabling teams to move from analysis to decisive action. This announcement follows a period of significant AI investment and innovation by Nozomi.
“The cybersecurity labor crisis is real and growing,” Carcano said. “As skilled resources become scarce and the threat landscape accelerates, Vantage IQ multiplies the power of turning great analysts into great defenders.”
