Partnership combines cybersecurity with predictive maintenance

Bringing data analytics and artificial intelligence together for IT/OT insights, Atos and Nozomi Networks provide value whether deviations are caused by malicious or nonmalicious events.

The partnership between Atos and Nozomi brings together data analysis capabilities not only for real-time cybersecurity protection, but to provide the predictive maintenance and operational analysis that the increased visibility makes possible as well.

Much of the news coming down the pipe these days about cybersecurity — other than the news about the cyber attacks themselves — is of a collaborative nature. More companies throughout the cybersecurity ecosystem are finding a need to join forces to help industry fight off the bad actors.

Although on the surface a recent announcement about Atos and Nozomi Networks teaming up looks to be more of the same — a classic cooperation between an IT heavy hitter and a cybersecurity company focused specifically on the industrial control space — the partnership highlights an even more important development. These two players are bringing together data analysis capabilities not only for real-time cybersecurity protection, but to provide the predictive maintenance and operational analysis that the increased visibility makes possible as well.

This is of particular importance for manufacturing personnel struggling to make an argument for the budgets needed to protect the operations. Given a choice between investing in what is essentially an insurance policy vs. investing in innovations that can move the business forward, executives tend to lean in the latter direction.

“Cybersecurity investments are always difficult because they don’t bring in top-line revenue,” noted Mazi Fayazfar, chief technology officer for telecom, media and utilities at Atos North America. “When you’re going to your board of directors, and you’re trying to justify these investments, the way you justify those investments have to be fear-based, they have to be risk-based. They have to determine how much of the total money that I have to spend on moving this business forward do I want to invest in an insurance policy? Or how much of that dollar, that share of wallet, do I get to spend moving my business forward—innovating and driving new experiences for my customer?”
