Nozomi Networks Integrates with ServiceNow
Vectra Cognito Now Available in the Microsoft Azure and AWS Marketplaces Vectra AI has announced the availability of its Cognito platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, and the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. The agreement with Microsoft will allow organizations interested in using the Vectra Cognito platform across cloud, data center, networks and IoT/OT to now test or purchase Cognito on Azure Marketplace using their pre-existing agreements with Microsoft. The AWS partnership will allow AWS customers worldwide to deploy Vectra’s suite of solutions through their AWS Enterprise Discount Plan for seamless procurement at a reduced rate. The accelerated purchasing process ensures fast time-to-value for customers leveraging Vectra solutions to gain real-time security, operational and cost management insights across their hybrid AWS environment. Account takeover in Office 365 has become the largest security threat vector in the cloud. The strategic approach allows the attacker to gain access to the data and privileges associated with the compromised account and then work their way laterally through the network. The Cognito platform accelerates threat detection, investigation, and response using AI to enrich cloud logs and network metadata. Once enriched, the data is collected and stored with the right context to detect, hunt, and investigate known and unknown threats in real-time. Azure users of Vectra’s Cognito platform can combine cloud and data center
detections with in-depth information from Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for greater context and stop attacks at the endpoint. Cognito is also seamlessly integrated with Azure Sentinel to create custom workbooks for enhanced investigation, correlation, and automation. For AWS users, Vectra’s Cognito platform integrates with AWS virtual private cloud (VPC) traffic mirroring to monitor all infrastructure-as-a-service traffic. Cognito also integrates with AWS Security Hub to publish Vectra detections as findings in Security Hub, enabling security teams to correlate Vectra attacker detections with other data sources for faster threat hunting and incident investigations. “Vectra is focused on making things easier for its customers. Whether that requires helping security teams see and stop the most sophisticated cyberattacks at scale, or making it quick and easy to find, buy and deploy industry-leading threat detection and response technology,” said Randy Schirman, Vice President at Vectra AI. “For companies that rely on the global footprint, scalability, reliability and agility of Microsoft Azure and AWS, we now offer a one-stop shopping experience via a pre-approved and preferred purchasing channel.” Vectra’s Cognito platform is now available worldwide on the Microsoft Azure and AWS Marketplaces. Purchases made through the two marketplaces also help streamline billing and procurement for joint customers.

Nozomi Networks has announced a technology integration with ServiceNow that helps manufacturers deliver next-generation operational efficiencies and resilience. The certified integration makes it possible for manufacturing and other industrial processes to leverage the combined power of ServiceNow’s expertise in service and asset lifecycle management with Nozomi Networks’ industrial strength OT and IoT network visibility and security solutions. With this integrated solution, organizations can utilize real time OT and IoT asset information from Nozomi Networks with ServiceNow’s Configuration Management Data Base (CMDB) and ServiceNow’s new Operational Technology Management products to quickly act on issues and immediately respond to operational threats. With this new integration, customers can synchronize network assets details gathered from the Nozomi Networks’ solution into the ServiceNow platform. Assets are automatically mapped to the new ServiceNow OT data model, streamlining the onboarding of new and existing devices. This approach makes it possible for manufacturers to achieve a complete and contextual view of their operational technology environments and addresses the need to help ensure the availability of their critical technology. “Smart manufacturing is a bottom-and-topline game changer, leveraging technology and data-driven workflows to boost efficiencies, gain greater resiliency and drive more value,” said Chet Namboodri, Nozomi Networks SVP, Business Development and Alliances. “At the same time, managing and securing these environments complicates manufacturing operations. Nozomi Networks is pleased to team with ServiceNow to simplify and support a new generation of process operations with the real time asset visibility that manufacturers need to speed response, reduce risk and increase compliance.” “Digitalization is a top priority for manufacturers who want to build and protect resiliency and maintain a competitive edge in today’s global marketplace,” said Binoy Gosalia, Global Head of Industry Partnerships at ServiceNow. “Yet, too often information silos, manual processes, and a lack of visibility keep manufacturers from realizing the full benefits of their digital investments. Nozomi Networks integration with ServiceNow makes it possible to unlock all the benefits of digitization with a unified system of action that is informed by detailed, real time asset information.”
