Audio By Carbonatix

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr 8, 2026--

NWN, the leading AI powered technology solutions provider, today announced the launch of NWN Cybersecurity, an AI enabled managed security operations suite that introduces new managed services, expands strategic security partnerships—including Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Arctic Wolf—and delivers new platform integrations through NWN’s patented Experience Management Platform (EMP) to help organizations modernize security operations and drive innovation in the AI era.

As cyber threats accelerate and AI adoption expands the attack surface, many organizations face an operational reality: security platforms have modernized faster than security operations. Tools generate alerts, dashboards generate noise, and teams struggle to convert insight into action—especially across hybrid environments, distributed workforces, and complex compliance mandates. NWN Cybersecurity is designed to close that gap by operationalizing industry leading security platforms into a single, accountable managed service model—delivered with 24x7 expertise and unified operational control via EMP.

“The AI era has changed the speed and complexity of cyber risk,” said Jim Sullivan, President & CEO of NWN. “Organizations don’t just need more security tools—they need a new approach to managed security services that turns modern security platforms into real outcomes. With this launch, NWN is expanding our managed security operations capabilities, deepening strategic partnerships with industry leaders, and integrating more of the security stack into EMP to help customers reduce complexity, improve resilience, and respond faster.”

What’s New with NWN Cybersecurity

NWN Cybersecurity launches with three clear areas of innovation and expansion:

• New Managed Services: A modern managed security operations suite including MDR, Offensive Security Services, Ransomware Protection and vCISO Consulting—all designed to operationalize today’s security platforms into a single, accountable service model—helping organizations reduce tool sprawl, accelerate response, and strengthen resilience.
• Expanded National Partnerships: NWN has achieved a Top National Partner Status with Cisco, Arctic Wolf, and Palo Alto Networks to bring leading security and observability capabilities into a managed services model for NWN customers.
• New EMP Integrations: New and planned EMP integrations that centralize visibility, monitoring, and workflows—including Palo Alto Prisma Access monitoring and roadmap integrations aligned to Cisco Splunk observability and Arctic Wolf Aurora ®.

This launch comes as the industry intensifies its focus on AI enabled security operations at RSAC 2026, where security leaders are evaluating next generation approaches to cyber defense and operational resilience.

EMP Platform Integration: From Visibility to Action in Security Operations

At the core of NWN Cybersecurity is their patented Experience Management Platform (EMP) —a unified platform for AI powered managed services that provides full visibility, centralized control, and comanaged operations. EMP leverages automation and proactive monitoring to reduce resolution times and improve operational efficiency—enabling a more scalable model for managed security operations.

NWN Cybersecurity extends EMP’s role as an operational control plane by integrating security telemetry and workflows into a standardized, actionable view—supporting phased outcomes that begin with visibility and automated ticketing, then expand over time to deeper automation and advanced operational capabilities. This launch unveils three unique integrations with the company’s top Cybersecurity platform partners including Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, and a launch partner for Arctic Wolf’s new Aurora Superintelligence Platform unveiled at RSA Conference 2026.

Comprehensive Services to Deliver Fully-Managed Security Operations

The new NWN Cybersecurity offering also provides a holistic suite of managed services to address modern security challenges, including new and expanded capabilities around:

• Managed Detection & Response (MDR) – NWN fully-managed MDR combines advanced cybersecurity technology with unmatched human expertise to deliver 24x7 protection that continuously detects, mitigates, and resolves cyber attacks and security threats
