NIKSUN today announced the release of Olympus 6.1, the world’s first completely unified platform for AI-powered and agentic-native IT, network, and security operations. For decades, the industry has been built around telemetry — a slow, batch-oriented model designed for a world where alerts were generated after a breach or outage had already happened. As cyber-attacks, network outages, and application or service availability incidents continue to escalate, enterprises have found themselves in need of a change: from fragmented, telemetry-driven infrastructure to environments powered by instant AI-enabled analytics and agentic remediation that surface actionable insights as soon as the first connection hits the network.
Our vision for Olympus was not to make yet another cybersecurity or observability tool to sit in a stack of siloed products – it was to challenge the very foundation of the industry we operate in.”
— Dr. Parag Pruthi, Founder & CEO, NIKSUN, Inc.
CIOs and CISOs have pursued the goal of bringing every IT and security source under one roof for more than 20 years. The market, however, has delivered fragmentation instead of true integration: acquisition-driven vendors stitched together dozens of point products, integrating at the sales layer, not the data layer. Each product remained a silo with its own schema, analytics engine, UI, and AI model, leading to incomplete visibility, higher TCO, operational inefficiencies, and AI outputs teams struggle to trust.

Enter, Olympus. Olympus is the world’s only real-time aggregation engine that provides high-speed collection, unification, and normalization of all raw observability data across IT, network, and security domains. It creates a cohesive data plane and memory field that powers human operators and AI agents alike with a holistic view of all activity across an organization’s infrastructure – from network connections to user behavior, endpoint activity, and more. The result is a unified command center for cybersecurity, regulatory compliance, and network-to-application performance management that consolidates traditionally fragmented products such as SIEM, NDR/EDR/XDR, TI/TIP, SOAR, Forensics, NPM, APM, Observability, Compliance Management, and more into a single pane of glass – an integrated operating system designed to solve the industry’s most foundational challenges.
Executive Perspective
Speaking about the update, Dr. Parag Pruthi, Founder & CEO of NIKSUN, Inc., said, “Our vision for Olympus was not to make yet another cybersecurity or observability tool to sit in a stack of siloed products – it was to challenge the very foundation of the industry we operate in. When we designed it, we started from first principles, focusing on the hardest problem first: ingesting and mining data at scale, merging disparate schemas, and correlating events across security, performance, and compliance into a single, coherent view. With this operating system achieved, a self-evident truth emerged: such a foundation could finally bridge the gap between AI potential and operational reality in this industry.”
Nik Pruthi, President & CFO of NIKSUN, Inc., added, “With a complete view of your infrastructure, Olympus’ built-in AI and agents can generate extremely accurate, actionable insights and remediation guidance from a single source of truth – NIKSUN’s high-fidelity memory. Best of all, Olympus’ all-in-one platform approach eliminates the cost and staff barrier to achieving a robust cybersecurity and observability paradigm by cutting out millions of dollars in expenditures to acquire and integrate fragmented systems. Whether you’re a small business or a Fortune 500 enterprise, NIKSUN levels the playing field.”
Olympus Capabilities at a Glance
NIKSUN Olympus collects and cross-correlates data from any source — firewalls, routers, switches, cloud infrastructure, web servers, databases, endpoints, and more — across any format, including logs, events, SNMP device metrics, cloud and application metrics, network flows, and full packet capture.
Key platform benefits include:
• 100% situational awareness across the entire infrastructure with no blind spots
• Instant detection and event aggregation for threats, compliance violations, and performance degradations
• Zero-click access to correlated, detailed incident intelligence with full forensic evidence
• Automated or manual remediation via out-of-box or custom Playbooks and agents
• Role-based access controls (RBAC) with end-to-end encryption in motion and at rest
• Deployable on premise, in the cloud, virtually, or in hybrid environments
• Scalable from small infrastructure environments to global enterprises
• Runs on DoD Information Networks (DoDIN) Approved Products List (APL) and Common Criteria certified hardware
• Sets up in minutes, not months, with out-of-box training and onboarding
