EmberOT teams with Foxguard on critical infrastructure security

EmberOT has partnered with Foxguard Solutions to combine OT visibility and threat detection software with cybersecurity, compliance and engineering services for critical infrastructure operators. The companies aim to help utilities and other industrial organizations improve security, support NERC CIP compliance and turn monitoring data into remediation steps.

Why it matters: - Critical infrastructure operators need better visibility into industrial networks without disrupting operations. - The partnership pairs OT monitoring with engineering and compliance support, which can help organizations move from detection to remediation. - The collaboration is aimed at industries facing stricter cybersecurity and audit requirements, including electric utilities.

What happened: - EmberOT announced a strategic partnership with Foxguard Solutions on Oct. 22, 2026. - EmberOT provides industrial asset and network monitoring software. - Foxguard provides cybersecurity, compliance and engineering services for critical infrastructure. - The companies said the partnership combines EmberOT’s OT visibility and threat detection technology with Foxguard’s hardware, system integration and cybersecurity services. - The announcement was issued from Chandler, Arizona.

The details: - Foxguard Discover is powered by EmberOT’s OT visibility and detection technology. - The solution is designed to give organizations deeper insight into industrial assets, network communications, potential vulnerabilities and security threats. - EmberOT’s platform uses passive network analysis rather than active scanning. - EmberOT’s software-based approach avoids the need for dedicated proprietary appliances in some deployments. - The platform can be deployed across a wide range of industrial environments, including network segments where traditional monitoring is difficult or costly. - Foxguard can deliver purpose-built hardware, system integration, implementation, testing and ongoing technical support. - Foxguard also brings experience in NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection standards, security assessments and regulatory compliance. - Foxguard can help organizations with system hardening, vulnerability management, patching, remediation planning and engineering support. - The companies said the combined offering helps bridge the gap between identifying operational risks and reducing them.

Between the lines: - The partnership reflects a broader shift in industrial cybersecurity toward continuous monitoring plus hands-on remediation services. - The model may be especially useful for operators that struggle with legacy systems, constrained budgets or hard-to-monitor network segments. - The emphasis on compliance suggests the partnership is as much about audit readiness as it is about threat detection.

What's next: - EmberOT and Foxguard will target critical infrastructure operators that need both security visibility and implementation support. - The companies are positioning the partnership around improved security posture, regulatory alignment and long-term operational resilience. - More information is available on EmberOT’s website.
