Critical networks have gained real-time visibility and detect threats with intelligent monitoring
I would like to see improvements in Nozomi Networks, probably more AI-based integration and better native integration with SOC and SOAR platforms. I would like to see specific features included in the next releases of Nozomi Networks, such as improvements in threat intelligence. They have competition from Dragos, which I believe is better in threat intelligence. I do not have much of an answer about the key differences of Nozomi Networks in comparison to other cyber defense solutions because I only work with Nozomi Networks. However, I heard from the market that they might lack in threat intelligence compared to Dragos. Other than that, I see Nozomi Networks as the best platform for customers, easy to manage, deploy, and operate. The cons might be that they lack some threat intelligence features that Dragos offers.
