Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that NSFOCUS has received the 2025 Global Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition in the AI-driven security operations industry for its exceptional achievements in technological innovation, strategy execution, and measurable customer impact. This recognition highlights NSFOCUS’s leadership in applying advanced artificial intelligence to transform security operations, enhancing accuracy, efficiency, and resilience in an increasingly complex global threat environment.
Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. NSFOCUS excelled in both, demonstrating its ability to align strategic initiatives with market demand while executing them with scale and precision. According to Pranav Sahai, a Frost & Sullivan industry analyst,“NSFOCUS exemplifies how artificial intelligence can redefine modern security operations. Its NSFGPT and ISOP platforms are tangible demonstrations of innovation that bridge data, analytics, and human expertise to deliver unprecedented efficiency and accuracy. By integrating AI into the core of cybersecurity operations, NSFOCUS not only enhances defensive capabilities but reshapes how enterprises perceive and respond to digital threats.”
Guided by a forward-looking growth strategy centered on AI innovation, automation, and global collaboration, NSFOCUS has redefined the operating model for cybersecurity. Its continued investment in research and development, accounting for 27% of its annual revenue, has led to industry-defining solutions such as NSFGPT, an AI security empowerment platform that combines machine learning, threat intelligence, and expert knowledge. NSFGPT addresses alert fatigue, one of the industry’s most persistent challenges, by leveraging multi-model collaborative modeling to assign confidence levels to alerts, automate triage, and escalate complex threats to human analysts. This synergy between machine intelligence and human expertise achieves a 97% alert noise reduction rate, accelerating incident response times to under 30 minutes.
Complementing NSFGPT, the company’s ISOP platform integrates SIEM, XDR, and SOAR capabilities into a unified, AI-empowered framework for detection, investigation, and response. By automating repetitive workflows and dynamically generating tailored response strategies, ISOP enables organizations to reduce manual interventions by up to 70%. Together, these platforms embody NSFOCUS’s mission to transform cybersecurity into an intelligent, adaptive, and continuously evolving discipline.
NSFOCUS ISOP deeply integrates AI capabilities into the entire security operation process, forming a collaborative “operation hub + AI base” model. It achieves significant value enhancement in alarm handling, threat defense, operational efficiency, and other key areas, while also adapting to multi-industry scenarios. This combination perfectly addresses the pain points of alarm overload and low signal-to-noise ratio in traditional security operations. After integrated application, it enables the full-process efficient operation of threats from discovery to disposal. It can reduce the threat response time to 30 minutes and realize end-to-end automated response for over 40% of security incidents.In addition, Fengyunwei’s precise identification capability for “known families, unknown variants” of attacks complements the limitations of ISOP’s traditional detection methods, jointly breaking through the bottleneck of unknown threat detection.
The integration of AI capabilities into all key links of security operations not only lowers the operational threshold but also optimizes decision-making scientificity. This collaborative model continuously accumulates disposal experience and solidifies it into automated paradigms, constantly reducing reliance on manual work. It drives the security operations center (SOC) to gradually evolve towards an advanced stage of autonomous operation, completely innovating the traditional manual-dependent security operation model.
NSFOCUS’s agility and integration capabilities have accelerated its global expansion across finance, telecommunications, and energy sectors. Strategic partnerships with AWS, Alibaba Cloud, and Tencent Cloud have enabled elastic scaling, real-time threat mitigation, and compliance automation. These alliances have yielded measurable customer outcomes, such as a 40% reduction in compliance costs and 70% faster certification timelines for regulated industries. NSFOCUS’s seven global scrubbing centers provide 7T DDoS protection with 10-minute response times, demonstrating the company’s operational maturity and responsiveness.
At the core of NSFOCUS’s competitive strategy lies a commitment to continuous learning and ecosystem collaboration. The company fosters cross-functional task forces and innovation labs that integrate real-time operational data with AI model refinement, ensuring sustained performance optimization. This approach reduces false positives, improves accuracy, and enhances decision-making efficiency across all security layers.
Frost & Sullivan commends NSFOCUS for setting a new benchmark in strategic foresight, AI innovation, and customer-centric delivery. Its focus on scalable value creation combining cost efficiency with high-performance security operations has redefined the global cybersecurity landscape. Through continuous AI model enhancement and human-machine collaboration, NSFOCUS demonstrates how precision, intelligence, and adaptability can deliver tangible outcomes at scale.
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Competitive Strategy Leadership Recognition to a company that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market share, customer satisfaction, and competitive positioning. The recognition celebrates organizations that are not only innovating within their industries but are shaping the direction of future growth through strategic excellence.
