Zero trust network access specialist Genians is partnering Ramen, a provider of AI-powered Network-as-a-Service (NaaS). The two companies are collaborating to develop an AI-powered converged network and security platform.

The solution will provide reliable and secure connectivity across both enterprise and industrial environments. It will provide end-to-end network lifecycle management, real-time visibility, automated policy enforcement and remediation, and scalable Zero Trust architecture. All these features will be powered by AI, and provide conversational AI interfaces to allow IT and security teams to act quickly.

Features of the converged platform include zero downtime by design, AI-driven analytics and contextual intelligence sharing.

AI-powered secure wireless infrastructure will support Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 7, Private 4G/5G, and mmWave. It will also provide dynamic segmentation and multi-layered enforcement. Agentless AI-based monitoring will allow the platform to discover and fingerprint all connected devices without requiring endpoint agents. This will ensure full visibility across evolving environments.

Automated compliance and self-healing operations will be provided through AI-driven agents. These will autonomously resolve issues, streamline audit preparation, and ensure compliance with ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR—helping enterprises reduce support costs by up to 90%.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward in converging network services with cybersecurity,” said Prashant Kumar, COO of Ramen Inc. “Together, we’re enabling enterprises to simplify operations while strengthening security.”

“For more than two decades, Genians has supported over 5,000 enterprises as they’ve evolved from IT to OT and beyond,” said Kyeyeon Kim, CTO of Genians. “This collaboration allows us to accelerate that evolution—helping organisations adopt AI-driven networking and Zero Trust security in tandem.”
