California-based Nozomi Networks has announced the Vantage IQ, said to be the world’s first private, company-trained AI assistant for OT and IoT security teams.

Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure have reached historic highs and the shortage of skilled OT and IoT defenders has become a crisis for strong protection. Organisations need options that not only function as a teammate but elevate their defences amid a rapidly changing threat landscape.

Vantage IQ is not just an upgrade, it is said to represent the next era of AI innovation to solve OT and IoT security’s problems. Security teams gain an AI assistant that is context-aware, delivering instant, actionable intelligence and guidance to every analyst, operator and executive with scale, speed and accuracy.

Unlike commercial AI assistants, Vantage IQ’s intelligence is built on an organisation’s asset, communication, vulnerability and threat data, ensuring every answer is relevant and secure. Analysts are equipped with hyper tailored insights, with AI-guided triage, investigation and response, while leaders gain board-ready insights in plain language, on demand.

“The era of generic, one-size-fits-all AI is over,” said Andrea Carcano, CPO of Nozomi Networks (www.nozominetworks.com). “With Vantage IQ, the world’s most advanced OT and IoT cyber-security AI assistant, is now on your team, empowering defenders to outpace adversaries and giving leaders the clarity they need to protect what matters most.”

Key features include:

• Private, context-aware large language model (LLM): Vantage IQ is powered by a secure LLM that learns from an organisation’s unique OT and IoT asset, vulnerability, threat and risk data, delivering insights generic AI models can’t match.
• Analyst capabilities: Instantly triage, investigate and respond to incidents with AI guidance specific to the environment.
• Executive-ready insights: Leaders can extract board-level intelligence through natural conversations with AI with no technical translation required.
• Usability for analysts and operators: Actionable recommendations and remediation guidance delivered directly throughout the Vantage experience, on each main tab of the interface. This helps analysts evolve from data analysis to action.

“The labour crisis in cyber security is real and growing,” said Carcano. “With skilled resources a scarce commodity and the threat landscape accelerating, Vantage IQ is the force multiplier that turns good analysts into great defenders.”
