Nozomi Networks launches Guardian Air in Australia
Nozomi’s new “world-first” wireless spectrum sensor is designed from the ground up for IoT and OT environments.
Internet of Things (IoT) and Operational Technology (OT) company Nozomi Networks has announced the availability of Guardian Air in Australia.
Guardian Air is a new tool on the Nozomi Networks platform that offers visibility into wireless devices, monitoring the most used wireless frequencies. In addition to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, Guardian Air can monitor cellular protocols, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, GPS, drone RF, and WirelessHART, to name a few.
This gives security teams the ability to monitor wireless sensors, laptops, and even mobile phones. This could give early warning about brute force attacks, bluejacking and phishing, as well as help find where attacking devices are located.
“Wireless technology is fundamentally changing the way industrial organizations operate. Unfortunately, it also greatly expands the potential attack surface,” Andrea Carcano, co-founder and chief product officer of Nozomi Networks, said in a statement.
“Guardian Air solves this problem by giving customers the precise visibility they need at the wireless level to minimize risk and maximize resilience. Because Guardian Air easily integrates into the Nozomi Networks Vantage platform, customers can combine network, endpoint and wireless for the greatest visibility, threat detection and AI-powered analysis for real-time security management and remediation in the entire attack surface.”
According to Nozomi, Guardian Air will enable local industries that rely on wireless devices, such as primary industries and manufacturers, to meet the Australian Government’s current requirements for secure-by-design networks.
Danielle VanZandt, industry manager of public and commercial safety research at Frost & Sullivan, calls the publication timely.
“From smart manufacturing to digital medicine, building automation, modern oilfield production and more, industrial organizations today rely on billions of wireless devices to accelerate production and time to market,” he said. VanZandt.
“Guardian Air gives IT security professionals and OT operators the visibility they need to firmly control wireless risk management and response.”
Guardian Air will be available in Australia soon through Nozomi Networks and its channel partners.
