NARI and OpsCompass will work together to identify and create new monitoring controls for use in Microsoft Azure

OMAHA - The Nebraska Applied Research Institute (NARI) and Nebraska-based cloud management company OpsCompass, LLC today announced a strategic relationship to develop technology solutions for enhancing cybersecurity and cyber physical systems support for the burgeoning cloud industry. The joint effort will include applied research, design, and commercial development agreements between the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) affiliate and OpsCompass.

"We are very pleased to work directly with the NARI team as they have assembled an outstanding group of applied researchers and engineers that deeply understand cybersecurity and the needs of the industry and have the specific ability to design to evolving dynamics as well as commercial requirements," said Manny Quevedo, president of OpsCompass. "After 35 years in this rapidly changing environment, you start to develop a sense of those that understand the challenges and know how to manage outcomes.”

The first project under the partnership involves software that will provide cloud monitoring controls for cybersecurity and compliance within the Microsoft Azure cloud. Azure is used by more than five million organizations globally, including most Fortune 500 companies.

OpsCompass Helm will see commercial release in July 2017. The Novotics CPS project, focused on cyber physical systems, IoT (Internet of Things) analytics, and cloud enablement, will be released in subsequent quarters.

"This project is precisely the mission of NARI, to build advanced solutions that are applicable to the marketplace and extend the capabilities and influence of the academic environment in real time, with real commercial enterprise," added Bev Seay, Executive Director for Nebraska Applied Research Institute. She continued, "OpsCompass is one of the right partners because they understand our team is purpose built to tackle the rapid challenges inherent in this epoch of digital transformation and cyber threat."

The team will be meeting with regional enterprise clients, Microsoft, and other partners to demonstrate the software's capability and assess other requirements for NARI’s cybersecurity research and development focus.

“This project is the first of several we will be involved with to directly build the commercial success of the Institute’s mission to bring meaningful applied research, training, and cybersecurity solutions to the U.S. enterprise market,“ said Terry Reinert, Director of Cybersecurity Research for NARI. “The dynamic growth of the Microsoft cloud within the cyber physical system domain and the many business solutions it provides makes this a high value goal.”.

The OpsCompass software has been in pre-commercial use by clients for several months and the incremental design features will be released on a continuous schedule. For more information, http://opscompass.com or http://Waypoint.opscompass.com.
