Nozomi Networks has made its operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security platform available through Google Cloud Marketplace, enabling enterprise customers to deploy the toolset directly within their Google Cloud environments. The listing, announced on May 12, 2026, extends the company's existing relationship with Google and positions its platform for faster procurement and deployment across cloud-centric industrial operations.
Background
The move comes amid accelerating convergence between OT networks and public cloud infrastructure. According to the SANS 2024 ICS/OT Survey, 26% of organizations now use cloud technologies in some part of their OT/ICS environment, up 15% from previous years, while 45% of OT/ICS organizations still avoid cloud adoption due to concerns about reliability and security. The broader OT security market is also expanding rapidly: the global OT security market is projected to grow from USD 23.47 billion in 2025 to USD 50.29 billion by 2030, at a compound annual growth rate of 16.5%, according to MarketsandMarkets. Cloud-based OT security solutions are recording faster growth than on-premises alternatives, driven by scalability demands and the need to monitor distributed industrial assets remotely.
Cloud marketplace procurement has become a standard pathway for enterprise security tooling. Purchases of third-party solutions via cloud marketplaces continue to record strong double-digit growth, shortening vendor onboarding cycles, according to industry data. For OT teams operating within organizations that have already committed cloud spend to Google Cloud, marketplace availability shortens negotiation cycles and allows security tools to draw on existing committed-use agreements.
The Google Cloud listing builds on an existing technical integration between the two companies. Nozomi Networks already integrates with Google Security Operations, leveraging AI capabilities to enable continuous monitoring across wired and wireless IT, OT, and IoT systems, both on-premises and in the cloud, according to the company's announcement.
Details
Customers can now deploy the Nozomi Networks Guardian and Central Management Console directly within their own Google Cloud tenant environments. Guardian is the company's primary network sensor and asset visibility component for OT and IoT environments; the Central Management Console aggregates data across distributed Guardian deployments for enterprise-wide oversight.
The platform listing also reflects the company's broader multi-cloud positioning. According to the company, users retain the flexibility to secure operations through their preferred cloud provider while maintaining consistent visibility and threat detection capabilities regardless of deployment model.
The announcement follows a series of organizational and product milestones at Nozomi Networks. Mitsubishi Electric completed its acquisition of all outstanding shares of Nozomi Networks on January 28, 2026, following an agreement announced on September 9, 2025. The transaction, Mitsubishi Electric's largest acquisition to date, valued Nozomi Networks near the USD 1 billion mark, with Mitsubishi Electric purchasing the 93% of shares it did not already own for USD 883 million in cash. Nozomi operates as a wholly owned, independently managed subsidiary and maintains its vendor-neutral technology roadmap. Prior to the acquisition closing, Nozomi surpassed USD 100 million in annual revenue and served customers including 5 of the top 10 oil and gas companies, 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical manufacturers, and 7 of the top 10 utilities.
On the product side, the company recently launched Vantage IQ, described as an AI-powered, private OT/IoT cybersecurity assistant delivering context-aware intelligence and guidance to analysts, operators, and executives. Gartner also recognized the company as a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms.
Outlook
For manufacturing and energy sector OT teams, the Google Cloud Marketplace listing simplifies initial deployment logistics. However, operational teams will need to address cross-cloud policy consistency, data residency requirements, and supplier risk governance as OT telemetry moves into hyperscaler environments. As discussed in prior analysis of cloud-native MES and IT/OT convergence, the shared responsibility model in cloud deployments introduces distinct visibility gaps that OT security architectures must account for explicitly. In multi-cloud environments, disparate security controls and inconsistent policy enforcement introduce complexity that can increase risk if not managed as part of a unified strategy, according to federal cloud security analysis from FedScoop. Nozomi Networks has not disclosed pricing terms or specific industry deployment case studies in connection with the Google Cloud Marketplace listing.
