Mitsubishi Electric Expands into Industrial Cybersecurity with Nozomi Acquisition

Mitsubishi Electric has announced its plan to acquire Nozomi Networks, a company recognized for its expertise in securing operational technology, IoT, and cyber-physical systems. Once the deal closes, Nozomi will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary but continue running independently. The move builds on the companies’ existing collaboration, including Mitsubishi Electric’s participation in Nozomi’s $100 million Series E funding round last year.

For Mitsubishi Electric, the acquisition adds a cloud-first cybersecurity business with a strong reputation in AI-driven defenses. Nozomi brings with it a leadership team and engineering talent known for pushing industrial cybersecurity forward. This combination positions Mitsubishi Electric to deliver stronger protection for critical infrastructure customers while deepening its footprint in digital transformation.

The companies emphasize a shared vision around using operational data and artificial intelligence to strengthen defenses and improve efficiency. Both also point to a commitment to partner-led growth and employee-focused culture. By maintaining Nozomi’s independence, Mitsubishi Electric aims to preserve the agility and relationships that have fueled its growth so far.

Customers and partners of Nozomi can expect business as usual in the near term. Leadership, teams, and offices remain in place, and existing partnerships and product roadmaps will continue. The expectation is that the additional resources and reach from Mitsubishi Electric will help Nozomi accelerate innovation while maintaining the stability customers rely on.
