Nozomi Networks Inc., a global leader in OT, IoT, and cyber-physical system (CPS) security, has announced a strategic technology integration with DER Security Corp (DERSec) to strengthen protection for distributed energy resources. As renewable energy adoption accelerates worldwide, assets such as battery energy storage systems, solar installations, electric vehicle chargers, and microgrid controllers are increasingly becoming attractive targets for sophisticated cyber threats.

The collaboration aims to address these evolving risks by combining Nozomi Networks’ advanced operational visibility and threat detection capabilities with DERSec’s physics-informed security analytics. Together, the integrated solution provides security operations center (SOC) teams with an energy-aware layer of defense that can detect cyber-physical attacks targeting distributed energy systems before they cause operational disruption.

Thomas Tansy, CEO of DERSec, highlighted the urgency of protecting modern energy infrastructure as power grids shift toward decentralized and renewable sources. According to him, distributed energy assets have become prime targets for threat actors, and traditional network monitoring tools often fail to detect subtle attacks that manipulate control signals or falsify telemetry data. By combining Nozomi Networks’ deep visibility with DERSec’s specialized analytics, the partnership enables security teams to identify complex threats that operate at the intersection of cyber and physical systems.

Nozomi Networks is widely recognized for its leadership in operational technology and IoT security. Its solutions deliver comprehensive visibility into industrial environments, supporting more than 115 million devices across thousands of deployments worldwide. Organizations across energy, manufacturing, mining, transportation, utilities, building automation, smart cities, and other critical infrastructure sectors rely on Nozomi’s technology to monitor industrial control networks, detect threats, and maintain operational resilience. The platform can be deployed on-premises, across wireless environments, or in the cloud, and leverages artificial intelligence to automate asset discovery, network monitoring, and anomaly detection.

DER Security, meanwhile, focuses specifically on safeguarding distributed energy resources. Its DERSec Sentry technology analyzes network traffic at the protocol level, examining communications used in energy systems such as SunSpec Modbus, DNP3, IEEE 2030.5, and OCPP. Through deep packet inspection and physics-aware analysis, the platform can detect dangerous commands, falsified telemetry signals, malicious firmware modifications, and insider threats that could disrupt energy operations.

Beyond detection, DERSec’s technology incorporates digital twin models of energy systems to compare real-world operations against expected physical behavior. This allows operators to quickly distinguish between mechanical faults and cyberattacks, significantly reducing response time and enabling faster recovery across environments such as AI data centers, microgrids, electric mobility fleets, and large-scale distributed energy installations.

Matthew Cowell, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Nozomi Networks, noted that protecting critical infrastructure increasingly requires collaboration between cybersecurity platforms and domain-specific expertise. He explained that DERSec’s ability to translate complex electrical behavior into actionable security insights complements Nozomi Networks’ visibility and threat detection capabilities. The integrated solution helps energy operators eliminate blind spots in decentralized environments while strengthening resilience against evolving cyber-physical threats.

As energy systems become more connected and distributed, partnerships like this reflect a growing industry focus on securing renewable infrastructure and ensuring that modern power networks remain reliable, resilient, and protected against sophisticated attacks.

Announcements like these are also important for companies seeking stronger visibility in technology and cybersecurity ecosystems. High-authority news coverage helps establish credibility and recognition across digital platforms and AI answer engines, where reputable media citations act as trusted signals of brand authority.
