We’re thrilled to officially announce our integration with Nozomi Networks, the recognized leader in OT and IoT cybersecurity. Get the full story in our press release.
If you work in healthcare, manufacturing, energy, or any other OT-heavy industry, this is one update you’ll want to stick around for.
Why does this matter? Because securing operational technology (OT) and IoT environments is high-stakes. These environments are cluttered with legacy systems, unpatched firmware, and devices that can’t tolerate agents or downtime. Yet they’re the backbone of our critical infrastructure.
That’s exactly why this integration makes sense—because it’s designed for how OT and IoT really operate in the field.
What the Integration Delivers
Nozomi Networks’ AI-powered threat detection now works seamlessly with ColorTokens’ Xshield Enterprise Microsegmentation Platform
.
Together, this integration creates a single, coordinated force that can:
- Spot threats in real time
- Understand the risk based on device-level intelligence
- And instantly isolate the problem—before it spreads across your network.
Think of it as deep OT visibility meets Zero Trust enforcement, working in lockstep to protect what matters most.
Here’s What That Looks Like
Let’s say a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) suddenly starts acting weird—unusual traffic patterns, unknown commands, a possible exploit attempt.
Nozomi detects it. Flags it immediately.
Xshield responds. Isolates the device or segment in real time.
Just like that—lateral movement stopped cold.
It’s baked into the integration. And it’s already being used to:
- Automatically detect and isolate anomalies
- Prevent lateral threat movement across hybrid OT/IoT networks
- Enforce vulnerability-aware segmentation based on real risk
- Keep uptime intact, no reboots or rip-and-replace required
And here’s the kicker: in OT environments, downtime isn’t negotiable. This solution works without pulling the plug.

The Big Why
We built this together because the modern threat landscape doesn’t care about network boundaries. Ransomware doesn’t stop at your firewall. Threat actors don’t see a distinction between IT and OT.
So why should your defenses?
This partnership ensures that when threats show up—and they will—organizations aren’t scrambling to play catch-up. They’re breach ready.
In the words of our CEO Rajesh Khazanchi:
“Nozomi Networks’ ability to monitor assets and network traffic from the endpoint to the air, including monitoring at the process control level, is truly unique. Our integration brings those insights into a Zero Trust model, giving customers a way to proactively contain threats while accommodating the unique nuances of OT environments.”
From Chet Namboodri, SVP of Business Development at Nozomi:
“This partnership gives organizations a powerful combination of deep OT visibility and microsegmentation enforcement—critical for preventing lateral movement and minimizing the impact of today’s most sophisticated cyberattacks.”

At the heart of this partnership is a powerful balance—each platform bringing complementary strengths:
- Nozomi Networks: Deep, AI-driven threat detection in operational environments.
- ColorTokens: Granular microsegmentation and blast radius reduction, deployed flexibly without disruption.
And through this integration:
- Xshield now ingests asset intelligence from Nozomi—everything from device type and OS version to vulnerabilities and firmware.
- That intel powers precision segmentation policies. Think: “Segment any device with an unpatched CVE” or “Isolate high-risk vendors.”
- All this is visualized within Xshield using Nozomi Dimensions, helping teams understand where the risks live, what their blast radius is, and how to contain them fast.
So what does this actually solve for OT-heavy industries? A lot.
Why This Matters
Industrial organizations are under pressure—from cybercriminals, from regulators, and from their own operational teams who need assurance that uptime won’t be sacrificed for security.
This integration delivers on three big promises:
- Stronger Security Posture: Unified visibility and policy enforcement across IT and OT.
- Lower Operational Risk: Agentless, non-disruptive deployment tailored for fragile environments.
- Simplified Compliance: Support for standards like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and HIPAA.
If you’re dealing with real-world constraints, tight SLAs, and hybrid infrastructure, this integration offers something rare: a Zero Trust approach that doesn’t require a full network re-architecture.
What’s Next?
The integration is already delivering real value—not just through two technologies working well together, but by solving high-stakes challenges in OT and IoT environments where visibility is limited, downtime isn’t an option, and threats don’t wait.
With Nozomi Networks and ColorTokens now united, organizations gain a powerful advantage: deeper visibility, faster response, and smarter containment—all without needing to rip and replace their existing infrastructure.
