Nozomi Networks Honored with Prestigious CRN Awards for 2026 

Nozomi Networks earns place on CRN’s 2026 Security 100 List while multiple Nozomi channel leaders named to CRN’s Channel Chiefs List for 2026

San Francisco, CA – February 17 , 2026 – Nozomi Networks, the leader in operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) security, announced today that it has been named by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, to the prestigious Security 100 List. This news follows Tyson Gerhold, Vice President of Global Partner and Channel Sales and Julie Rosenberg, Head of Global Partner Programs, being named to the 2026 CRN Channel Chiefs List earlier this month.  

The companies on the Security 100 list deliver a combination of cutting-edge security technologies and services. With cybersecurity needs accelerating alongside the emergence of AI-powered offerings and increasing cyber threats, this annual list is a valuable guide for solution providers exploring security vendors they can partner with to deliver outstanding solutions to their customers.

The annual CRN Channel Chiefs list spotlights the most influential leaders across the IT channel, celebrating those who champion collaboration, drive innovation and empower their partners and customers to achieve shared success. Gerhold and Rosenberg each have tenured channel careers with proven track records of success. Rosenberg was also named to CRN’s Women of the Channel list for 2025.

These recognitions follow a year of exceptional momentum for Nozomi Networks. Mitsubishi Electric completed its acquisition of the company in January, marking a new phase of growth for both organizations as Nozomi operates independently as a wholly owned subsidiary. Nozomi Networks also recently announced the launch of Vantage IQ, the world’s first AI-powered, private OT/IoT cybersecurity assistant. Other recent recognitions include:  

  • Named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies 2025 list
  • Named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CPS Protection Platforms and is a Leader in the Forrester Wave for IoT Security, as well as the only recognized Customers' Choice in Gartner's Voice of the Customer for CPS Protection platforms
  • Recognized by Gartner as “The Company to Beat for AI in CPS Protection Platforms”
