San Francisco-based cybersecurity firm Nozomi Networks has released an update to its threat detection software, Nozomi Arc, which allows customers to automate threat response in operational environments.

The latest version of Nozomi Arc includes a feature that enables users to safely automate threat prevention and response on OT endpoints. This is done through three modes: detection mode, quarantine mode, and delete mode.

According to the company, the update addresses the escalating threat landscape facing industrial networks, which are increasingly targeted by attackers. Traditional IT cybersecurity automation tools are not suitable for OT environments due to safety concerns.

Nozomi Arc’s prevention engine is supported by Nozomi Networks Threat Intelligence, which provides indicators of compromise in YARA, STIX, and SIGMA formats. This enables effective local behavioural analysis.

The update also includes seamless integration with the Nozomi Networks platform for OT, IoT, and CPS protection.
