NanoLock Security, OTIFYD partner on industrial cyber protection to European companies

NanoLock Security and OTIFYD announced Tuesday that they are partnering to provide manufacturing and industrial companies with device-level zero-trust OT cybersecurity solutions.

The partnership will enable OTIFYD’s customers to utilize NanoLock as part of OTIFYD’s OT cybersecurity solutions suite. Moreover, the device-level prevention offered by NanoLock will ensure vendor-agnostic protection for both new and legacy OT assets against both external and internal cyber threats.

Cyberattacks targeting major manufacturing companies and industrial systems have become increasingly common. Additionally, with the rise of digitization initiatives within Industry 4.0, manufacturers are adding more networked devices and implementing greater connectivity between IT and OT systems. The expanded attack surface provides more opportunities for both insiders and external threat actors to manipulate control systems.

NanoLock’s device-level zero-trust OT cybersecurity solutions protect industrial manufacturing, with no impact on performance or functionality. With NanoLock, OTIFYD’s industrial clients will be able to protect their production environments from external and internal cyber threats.

“We are excited to join forces with NanoLock Security and advance our shared goals of better serving our customers and providing them with secure, reliable and defensible solutions,” Ali Bozorgmir, Global Director – OT Security Solutions at OTIFYD, said in a media statement. “One of our key focus areas is helping our clients to safely integrate critical OT systems and assets – which used to be isolated – with dedicated OT networks. In operational environments where cyber compromise is unacceptable, NanoLock’s device-level prevention solution will bring peace of mind.” 

“Energy, food and beverage, and manufacturing companies are extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks from outsiders and insiders,” said David Stroud, chief operations officer of NanoLock. “Our partnership ensures that OTIFYD  and NanoLock will strengthen protection of OT manufacturing environments from ever-growing cyber threats.”
