Nozomi Networks, vendor of OT, IoT, and CPS security offerings, announced on Thursday the all-new Vantage IQ, a private, company-trained AI assistant for OT/IoT security teams. Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure have reached historic highs, and the shortage of skilled OT/IoT defenders has become a crisis for strong protection. Organizations need solutions that not only function as a teammate but also elevate their defenses amid a rapidly changing threat landscape.
Vantage IQ is not just an upgrade; it represents the next era of AI innovation to solve OT/IoT security’s greatest challenges. For the first time, OT/IoT security teams have an AI assistant that is context-aware, delivering instant, actionable intelligence and guidance to every analyst and operator, and executive with scale, speed, and accuracy.
Unlike commercial AI assistants, Vantage IQ’s intelligence is built on an organization’s unique asset, communication, vulnerability, and threat data – ensuring every answer is relevant and secure. SOC analysts are equipped with hyper-tailored insights, with AI-guided triage, investigation and response, while CISOs and leaders gain board-ready insights in plain language, on demand.
“The era of generic, one-size-fits-all AI is over,” said Andrea Carcano, co-founder and CPO at Nozomi Networks. “With Vantage IQ, the world’s most advanced OT/IoT cybersecurity AI assistant is now on your team – empowering defenders to outpace adversaries and giving leaders the clarity they need to protect what matters most.”
The platform introduces several key innovations, including a private, context-aware large language model that is trained on an organization’s specific OT and IoT asset, vulnerability, threat, and risk data, enabling insights that generic AI models cannot provide. Analyst capabilities are enhanced through AI-driven guidance that supports faster triage, investigation, and incident response tailored to the environment.
The solution also delivers executive-ready insights, allowing CISOs and senior leaders to obtain board-level intelligence through natural language interactions without the need for technical translation. Usability for analysts and operators is further improved through actionable recommendations and remediation guidance embedded directly across the Vantage interface, helping teams move from analysis to decisive action. The announcement follows a period of significant AI investment and innovation by Nozomi.
“The labor crisis in cybersecurity is real – and growing,” said Carcano. “With skilled resources a scarce commodity and the threat landscape accelerating, Vantage IQ is the force multiplier that turns good analysts into great defenders.”
