Belden and Radiflow Partner to Close the Gap Between OT Threat Detection and Network Response

New partnership delivers automated, machine-speed security enforcement for industrial operators – powered by integrating Radiflow’s CIARA with Belden’s macmon NAC.

St. Louis, Missouri, October 23, 2026 – Radiflow, a leading global provider of OT cybersecurity solutions and services for critical infrastructure and industrial automation, particularly within discrete industries, today announced a strategic partnership with Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a leading global provider of complete connection solutions. Together, the companies will enable automated, intelligence-driven security enforcement across operational technology environments, closing the critical gap between threat detection and network response.

As OT environments become increasingly connected, security teams face a growing challenge: understanding operational risk is no longer enough – organizations must be able to act on that intelligence immediately. While OT security platforms excel at identifying vulnerabilities, exposures, and anomalous behavior, the enforcement of security policies often remains a separate and largely manual process. Bridging the gap between OT visibility and automated network access control is essential to reduce response times and limit cyber risk in critical operations.

Together, Belden and Radiflow address this challenge directly by creating a unified security loop. Radiflow’s platform delivers asset discovery, risk assessment, and continuous anomaly detection across OT environments; Belden contributes trusted network infrastructure and access control – closing the loop from detection to enforcement. Today, the companies are launching an integrated solution that puts this loop into action: exposure detection and network enforcement working as one system – from “we found a new risk” to “access is restricted” – without manual handoff in between.

Radiflow’s CIARA (Cyber Intelligence and Risk Assessment) maps an organization’s OT network topology and layers on AI-driven threat intelligence to continuously flag critical exposures as they emerge, not weeks later. Together, iSID and CIARA integrate with Belden’s macmon NAC. iSID delivers real-time OT event context while CIARA enriches macmon with current risk scores per asset and zone. This enables macmon to trigger automatic access-right adjustments the moment risk posture changes, delivering the continuous, contextual response OT security demands as AI accelerates the threat landscape.

“This partnership reflects exactly where Belden is heading: delivering security solutions that are comprehensive and immediately actionable in the field,” said Alexandre Peixoto, VP Security at Belden. “With Radiflow’s CIARA & iSID platform providing continuous, data-driven risk intelligence and exposure detection, combined with Belden enforcing it at the network level, joint customers across manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure get both the insight and the response – from day one.”

“Belden’s network infrastructure expertise is a natural complement to Radiflow’s risk intelligence capabilities,” said Ilan Barda, CEO, Radiflow. “Together, we give industrial operators what they’ve been missing: a direct, automated path from identifying a threat to enforcing the right response at machine speed, without putting operations at risk.”

This collaboration extends Belden’s commitment to delivering complete, end-to-end connectivity and security solutions for the most demanding industrial environments – from manufacturing and energy to transportation and critical infrastructure. With Radiflow’s solutions already deployed at a significant number of sites worldwide, the partnership brings immediate scale and operational depth to joint customers across Europe, APAC, and North America.
