Strategic Acquisition Tempered Networks was acquired by Johnson Controls in 2022, signaling strong validation of zero-trust, software-defined perimeter solutions for large enterprise and smart building ecosystems. This presents cross-sell opportunities into Johnson Controls’ expansive customer base and OpenBlue initiatives.

Industrial Cyber Focus Historically positioned in industrial IoT cybersecurity and OT/IIoT segments, Tempered has partnerships and deployments with building automation and industrial players. Leverage these relationships to expand into industrial facilities, energy management, and critical infrastructure clients.

Zero-Trust Differentiator Position Tempered as a specialized zero-trust IDN (Identity Defined Networking) platform with micro-segmentation and end-to-end encryption. Target security teams looking to reduce lateral movement risks in hybrid cloud and edge environments across mid-market to enterprise customers.

Strategic Partnerships Past collaborations with Delta Controls and Nozomi Networks indicate a channel-friendly approach for building automation and OT/ICS security. Develop co-sell motions with system integrators, OT cybersecurity vendors, and building automation providers.

Growth Readiness Revenue range and funding indicate a small but growing security vendor with enterprise-grade ambitions. Propose pilots and expansion plays with qualified opportunities in smart buildings, healthcare facilities, and critical infrastructure where robust identity-based perimeter security is valued.
