Xona, a pioneer in secure access for critical infrastructure, and Radiflow, a leading OT cybersecurity company, today announced a strategic technology partnership aimed at helping critical infrastructure operators and managed security service providers (MSSPs) enhance operational security, visibility, and risk governance across industrial environments.

This collaboration combines Radiflow's passive threat detection, OT asset visibility, and risk quantification with Xona's zero-trust secure access platform designed specifically for OT and cyber-physical systems. Together, the companies provide a complementary approach to protecting critical infrastructure environments from insecure endpoints, unauthorized access, and emerging cyber threats.

"The threat landscape for critical infrastructure continues to intensify, and operators need both visibility and control to reduce risk without disrupting operations," said Bill Moore, CEO and Founder of Xona. "Radiflow provides advanced OT risk intelligence, while Xona enforces secure, policy-based access to critical systems. This partnership is a powerful step forward for operators and the MSSPs who support them."

Empowering OT Security Teams and MSSPs

Through this alliance, Xona and Radiflow will explore ways to deliver integrated solutions that offer:

  • Real-time access governance based on OT risk insights: Radiflow's CIARA platform quantifies cyber risk and suggests mitigations; these insights can inform access decisions in the Xona Platform.

  • Asset-aware access policy enforcement: Radiflow's asset and network discovery via iSID can help Xona administrators define and enforce precise, least-privilege access by role, time, and system.

  • Rapid incident response: Alerts from Radiflow's anomaly detection can trigger session lockdown or isolation in Xona's Centralizer.

  • Unified deployment across distributed environments: Xona and Radiflow both offer lightweight, edge-deployable solutions suitable for industrial operators with bandwidth-constrained or geographically dispersed site

Supporting MSSPs and Channel Partners

The partnership also creates new opportunities for Radiflow's and Xona's joint channel partners and MSSP ecosystem to deliver differentiated, risk-informed, and authorized connectivity capabilities.

"Xona's platform is a natural complement to Radiflow's risk-based OT security solutions," said Ilan Barda, CEO and Co-founder of Radiflow. "Together, we can help our partners deliver greater operational value to industrial customers, whether they are building SOCs, managing hundreds of sites, or responding to regional compliance mandates."

As part of the partnership, the two companies will work closely with select MSSPs and channel partners to enable joint customer engagements, collaborative go-to-market programs, and co-branded solution offerings tailored to the energy, water, oil & gas, manufacturing, and transportation sectors.
