IKARUS Named ‘EMEA MSSP of the Year 2025’ by Nozomi Networks

For the second year in a row, IKARUS has been honored by Nozomi Networks – one of the leading providers of OT security technologies – as “EMEA MSSP of the Year.” The award recognizes technical excellence, continuous development, and the successful implementation of OT security solutions in critical infrastructure and industrial environments.

Industrial Cybersecurity: Protection for People and Machines

“OT security doesn’t just protect production facilities, it also protects people and the systems that supply us,” explains Christian Fritz, COO at IKARUS.

A fault at a water plant, a disrupted power distributor, or incorrect sensor data can bring entire regions to a standstill. Modern OT security detects cyberattacks, misconfigurations, device failures, or process deviations early and minimizes risks.

With IKARUS MSSP Vantage, customers receive a complete package: hardware, licensing, implementation, training, and ongoing support. Specialized experts accompany the rollout, transfer know-how, and ensure reliable security.

Another Award for IKARUS OT Security Solutions

Receiving the “EMEA MSSP of the Year” award again highlights IKARUS’s hands-on experience and technical expertise. It also acknowledges the company’s ability to successfully adapt security solutions to different European markets and continuously refine them.

“This award confirms that our practical approaches work,” says Herbert Dirnberger, Product Owner Industrial Cybersecurity at IKARUS. “We make risks visible and help our customers prioritize and remediate them. This enables major energy suppliers as well as smaller manufacturing companies to meet growing regulatory requirements and avoid operational downtime.”

Looking Toward a Secure Future

“This recognition is a great honor for our team and also a motivation,” says Christian Fritz. “In 2026, we will continue expanding our offering, capabilities, and networks. Our goal is to give smaller businesses in Europe access to the same security services used by international companies – scaled and tailored to individual needs. Because security concerns us all.”
