The deal aims to accelerate industrial cyber innovation, boost AI-driven defenses and enhance operational efficiency for critical infrastructure worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nozomi Networks and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation have announced a definitive agreement under which Mitsubishi Electric will acquire Nozomi Networks. Upon closing, Nozomi Networks will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, maintaining its independence while benefiting from Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s scale and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition will accelerate Nozomi\u2019s cybersecurity innovation while preserving its heterogeneous approach to supporting customers and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitsubishi Electric participated in Nozomi\u2019s $100 million Series E funding round in March 2024, and the companies have since collaborated on innovation and go-to-market strategies. This partnership laid the foundation for the acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal gives Mitsubishi Electric a strong AI-powered, cloud-first cybersecurity business with a proven track record of scalable innovation. Nozomi\u2019s world-class leadership and engineering teams will enhance Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions to global customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than 100 years of operational technology (OT and IoT) expertise, Mitsubishi Electric will help Nozomi expand its cybersecurity innovation and sustain business growth. Both companies will accelerate digital transformation for critical infrastructure and industrial organisations worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shared vision combines OT\/IoT data with advanced AI to strengthen cyber defenses and improve operational resilience. Both companies remain committed to customer success, a partner-first model and strong employee culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nozomi Networks will continue to serve all customers and partners without disruption. Its brand, leadership, teams and operations will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satoshi Takeda, senior vice president, CDO, CIO and board member, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, said: \u201cWe are excited to welcome Nozomi to the Mitsubishi Electric family. Their cutting-edge OT security technology and rapid development philosophy have earned them a strong reputation. By combining Nozomi\u2019s strengths with Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s expertise in OT, we can co-create valuable new services while supporting Nozomi\u2019s commitment to innovation and flexibility. Together, we will help customers achieve digital transformation with enhanced security, efficiency and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edgard Capdevielle, President and CEO, Nozomi Networks, said: \u201cThis marks an exciting new chapter for Nozomi Networks. As part of Mitsubishi Electric, we will drive the next generation of industrial security and innovation to deliver more value worldwide. Nothing changes for our customers and partners \u2013 they will continue to receive the same support and trusted cybersecurity platform. With Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s reach and resources, we can supercharge our innovation engine to help industrial organisations secure and accelerate Digital Transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrea Carcano, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Nozomi Networks, said: \u201cCombining Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s century of industrial expertise with Nozomi Networks\u2019 innovations in AI and cybersecurity creates a unique opportunity. We will deliver a new generation of AI-powered solutions that strengthen cyber resilience and operational performance across all OT and IoT industries. Together, we\u2019ll make critical infrastructure safer, more resilient and more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. Nozomi will continue to be headquartered in San Francisco, with R&D operations in Mendrisio, Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
