Risk monitoring has improved and real-time fraud detection provides transparent banking control
Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination. One needs to have proper engineering coordination to understand the system, deploy it, integrate it, and make all the complex things into one system. This is very challenging, and one should be really skillful and have experience to accomplish this. Cost is another area for improvement. The cost is higher due to site-based licensing and expert services. The licensing is very heavy, and expert services are required for deployment. Cost-wise is also challenging and needs to be improved. Integration needs alignment with IT security systems and compliance frameworks. Controlling cybersecurity where any fraudulent person or third party should not access the system is controlled, and managing that level of complexity is quite challenging. Since there is continuous monitoring, it can reduce operational risk losses by 20% to 30% annually. Controlling that huge amount of data and transactions, especially regarding storage, requires a lot of database space. The space-wise storage should be reduced.

Comprehensive dashboards have enabled detailed asset visibility and proactive risk mitigation
On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved. For example, when I export any data, there are only 50 columns available. What if there were more columns? Nozomi Networks does not provide that data, so I have to go to the query section. The AI is currently useful for writing queries in English that are converted into their coding language for queries. Sometimes it provides the correct data, and sometimes it does not understand the request. From my attempts, I would say 50 percent of the time it has given me the proper data, and 50 percent of the time it might need improvement. Every day or week, new threat intelligence and AI upgrades are being released for Vantage, and all those upgrades are being implemented. Things are getting better, but I believe there are areas of improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dragos especially ensures systems recover quickly, providing resilience, and it handles all the operational resilience in banking with metrics of 99.9% uptime, 30 minutes recovery time, and 99% transaction accuracy."
"Dragos is more expensive than other vendors, probably about fifteen to twenty percent more, but it is generally worth the investment."
"Dragos' best features are that they are more focused towards Incident Response, so they have a dedicated playbook in their platform, making it easier for anyone investigating any incidents to investigate the alerts."
"Dragos has positively impacted my organization by aiding us to compensate our time."
"The network visualization feature of Nozomi impacts security operations positively."
"The return on investment from Nozomi Networks is substantial, particularly concerning time saved."
"Nozomi Networks has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to build a roadmap based on what I see, ultimately leading to a better security posture, which includes knowing what is inside the network and what vulnerabilities exist."
"Provides security for our operational technology environment for OT and IoT."
"The most valuable features of Nozomi Networks are the visibility of OT protocols and the versatility in finding the details of the assets feeding the tool."
"The best feature of Nozomi Networks is that it has built OT-oriented protocols such as OPC UA, DNP3, Modbus, and Siemens S7, and for these protocols, Nozomi Networks identifies them very perfectly."
"Nozomi Networks has positively impacted our organization by giving us more visibility into our OT network, so now we know what is happening in our OT network and we can find things which were never there before and which we did not know before."
"Nozomi Networks has positively impacted our organization as we can visualize the traffic within the OT networks and identify the potential threats or vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"Dragos could improve its asset visibility and discovery tools, as the competitor Claroty has better options in this area."
"From my point of view, Dragos cannot be improved at the moment, but having more user-friendly platforms would be good."
"I think Dragos can offer more flexibility similar to Nozomi and more visibility into the assets, nodes, and links, which would make it more competitive in the future."
"Dragos should be improved in deployment complexity as it requires OT engineering coordination."
"On the negative side, I believe their AI, which is IQ, could be more improved."
"The pricing was quite high based on the end customer's perspective."
"I see challenges with Nozomi Networks mainly as a detection or visibility tool, but it does not actively block traffic by design for safety reasons."
"I would like more customizable options for configurations."
"Nozomi Networks currently offers add-ons, such as ARP agents, that can be installed on machines to expand the information we receive from sensors. However, these are part of a licensing structure, which can be costly."
"Nozomi Networks can be improved in many points. First of all, reduce the cost. That is really important because many companies are not so huge and many companies cannot acquire this kind of licensing."
"I believe there is room for improvement regarding on-premises AI."
"To improve Nozomi Networks, I believe that it is less useful without Vantage if I have a multi-site setup."
