SAN FRANCISCO – May 19, 2026 – Nozomi Networks, the leader in OT, IoT and CPS security, has expanded its presence in the Latin American market, cemented by the recent appointment of Adistec, a global distributor of technology solutions with a dedicated presence in Latin America and the Caribbean region. 

Adistec is now an official distributor of Nozomi Networks in Latin America. This collaboration responds to the growing demand in the market for advanced solutions to protect critical infrastructures, industrial networks, and connected devices in sectors such as energy, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities. Adistec will leverage its experienced team of pre-sales and certified engineers and its educational and enablement programs for partners to advance Nozomi’s presence in the area.

“We’re thrilled to have Adistec join our distributor network in Latin America,” said Tyson Gerhold, Nozomi Networks Vice President of Global Partner and Channel Sales. “Our research found that the region is consistently one of the most targeted areas globally, signalling a need for stronger OT/IoT protection. Our work there is not only critical to our growth strategy but for cybersecurity overall, and Adistec will help us continue a positive trajectory.”

"The alliance with Nozomi Networks represents a key step in our expansion strategy within the industrial cybersecurity segment,” said Marcelo Gardelin, Strategic Alliances Director at Adistec. “Their leading technology in visibility and monitoring of OT and IoT networks perfectly complements our portfolio, allowing us to offer comprehensive solutions to our business partners throughout the region."

I’m excited to continue our work here and bring Nozomi’s industry leading technology to more organizations.”

“Critical infrastructure is facing more cybersecurity attacks than ever from global adversaries, necessitating greater protection of OT and IoT systems,” said Freire. “I’m constantly hearing from CISOs and CIOs in the region that they need a comprehensive solution to protect their environments. Nozomi offers them protection of the highest efficacy to keep pace with evolving threats.”
