Operational technology (OT) security and Internet of Things (IoT) security leader Nozomi Networks announced a $100 million Series E funding round to accelerate innovative cyber defenses and expand cost-efficient go-to-market expansion globally.
This latest funding round includes investments from Mitsubishi Electric and Schneider Electric. Nozomi Networks will use this latest funding round to help scale product development efforts and its go-to-market approach globally.
As criminal and nation-state cyber threats to industrial and critical infrastructure are rising, the need for Nozomi Networks solutions has never been more important.
