Honeywell has announced the expansion of its Operational Technology Cybersecurity Suite, delivering advanced, proactive protection for industrial environments. The enhanced portfolio integrates capabilities designed to defend critical infrastructure, streamline security compliance, and assist organizations to stay ahead of increasingly complex attacks.
Honeywell’s expanded OT cybersecurity suite includes five new capabilities:
- Secure Media Exchange (SMX) Portable Scanner: SMX is a specialized cyber-physical solution designed to protect industrial facilities and critical infrastructure from threats carried in on USBs and other removable media devices. Powered by advanced anti-virus and industry-leading threat intelligence, the new SMX Portable Scanner enables deep inspection of storage devices, Windows-based machines and air-gapped systems, reducing the risk of malware entering critical environments and disrupting supply chains.
- Cyber Proactive Defense (CPD): CPD is a next generation AI-powered monitoring solution purpose-built for Operational Technology (OT) environments facing increasingly more sophisticated cyber-attacks. Using advanced analytics and real-time monitoring, it correlates alerts across process and automation tools to deliver actionable insights, enabling organizations to proactively identify, prioritize, and mitigate threats before they escalate into full-scale attacks and impact critical operations.
- Cyber Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC): Streamlining compliance management, Cyber GRC automates evidence collection and audit reporting through AI and machine learning capabilities. The software reduces administrative burden by transforming weeks of manual effort into hours while providing greater visibility into security posture.
- Data Diode: Protecting sensitive data flows is paramount in industrial environments. Honeywell’s data diode allows for secure, unidirectional data transfer, helping isolate critical systems and maintain high security standards in OT domains.
- OT Security Operations Center (SOC): As a managed service for network and endpoint monitoring, the OT SOC equips organizations with the expertise and resources needed to respond swiftly to incidents. With 24/7 monitoring and a vendor-agnostic hub, it enhances incident response, minimizes asset downtime, and helps ensure operational continuity.
