In February 2026, NetWitness announced a partnership with Lumifi Cyber to provide managed detection and response services for both IT and operational technology environments. As cyber threats continue to rise across industries, including healthcare and life sciences, the partnerships focus on assisting organizations in enhancing their cybersecurity monitoring and incident response capabilities. Through managed security services, the partnership seeks to give enterprises improved network visibility and quicker reactions to cybersecurity incidents.
Combined Technologies to Strengthen Threat Detection
In this collaboration, Lumifi Cyber will offer its security operations center services and cybersecurity monitoring knowledge, while NetWitness will provide its threat detection analytics and incident investigation platform. Continuous network monitoring, threat detection, investigation, and response support will all be provided by the integrated solution. Organizations that may not have sizable internal cybersecurity teams but still require cutting-edge defense against cyberattacks and data breaches can benefit from this integrated approach.
Helping Organizations Address Cybersecurity Talent Shortage
The lack of qualified cybersecurity experts and the growing complexity of cyberthreats present problems for many organizations. By enabling businesses to contract out cybersecurity monitoring and threat detection to specialized teams, managed detection and response services, and round-the-clock monitoring, the joint MDR solution will assist organizations in identifying and addressing cyber threats more swiftly and effectively.
Focus on IT and Operational Technology Security
The security of operational technology systems, which are becoming increasingly linked to IT networks, is a key area of focus for these collaborations. The risk of cyberattacks on vital infrastructure and operational systems is linked to digital networks. By offering unified visibility across IT and OT environments, NetWitness and Lumifi Cyber's joint solution helps businesses identify threats in both systems and strengthen their overall cybersecurity resilience.
According to Precedence Research, the healthcare & life sciences cybersecurity market size was valued at USD 27.48 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach approximately USD 114.11 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 15.30% during the forecast period. The market is growing due to rising cyberattacks on healthcare data and digital health systems.
Supporting Healthcare and Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity
Additionally, the collaboration is anticipated to assist industries like critical infrastructure, manufacturing, healthcare, and life sciences, where cybersecurity threats are rising due to connected devices and digital transformation. Cyberattacks target hospitals, research labs, and pharmaceutical companies because they handle a lot of sensitive data. The collaboration assists these companies in enhancing data security, upholding regulatory compliance, and lowering cybersecurity threats while concentrating on their primary business operations by offering managed detection and response services.
