ATLANTA, Aug. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE:
HON), a global leader in smart building technology and
services, today introduced the next generation of Enterprise
Building Integration (EBI), Command and Control Suite (CCS), and
Digital Video Manager (DVM), a suite of solutions enabled by the
Honeywell Forge for Buildings platform, that help drive facility
efficiency and oversight, streamline complex functions, and deliver
savings across an enterprise. A key component to making this all
work is keeping facilities and occupants safe. Along with EBI, CCS
and DVM Honeywell is launching a portfolio of enhanced
cybersecurity solutions to help companies protect against the
rising risk of unexpected attacks on data, network systems and
buildings infrastructure.
"For buildings to be smarter, more efficient and effective, an
operating system must be in place that works to constantly improve
resource management," said Mark
Verheyden, president, Honeywell Building Solutions. "These
systems help keep people safe and secure, enhance the building
experience, and protect the data and processes that drive
operations. The overall health of the building ecosystem can impact
business success – just like great talent and experience. Our
building operation teams help customers address building use and
critical infrastructure challenges."
These technologies leverage IoT connectivity, interoperable
systems and data sharing, and adaptive workflows to help transform
inputs and information into actionable outcomes. Key enhancements
include:
- EBI R600 – The Honeywell building management system that
helps connect, monitor and manage core building functions, from
comfort to security to safety, and can help reduce upfront capital
costs. The open IoT platform integrates with numerous third-party
systems and equipment as well as cloud and mobile applications.
With more than 23 years of market implementation, EBI has more than
150 million IoT connections in buildings worldwide.
- DVM R700 – An enhanced digital surveillance system that
delivers a detailed view of operations and enterprise-wide
integrated protection. Improved camera servers enhance views and
reduce storage needs and hardware costs.
- CCS R300 – Facility visualization application with
intuitive interface that brings performance data to building
personnel through enhanced map navigation and editing
capabilities.
EBI600, DVM700 and CCS300 integrate with Honeywell Forge for
Buildings, an enhanced category of software developed by Honeywell
called Enterprise Performance Management. Honeywell Forge for
Buildings is an integrated platform that connects operational data
from assets, processes, third-party applications and people with
machine learning to help customers improve their building
performance and enhance performance and productivity with
actionable insights.
"Commercial building and critical infrastructure customers are
often driving toward similar facility outcomes: streamlined
operations, reduced costs, improved safety and security," Verheyden
said. "Efforts to reach these goals are markedly different for a
hospital or an airport, for example. Within our enhanced integrated
platform of offerings, operations teams can tailor services to help
meet specific needs through new multi-windows and interactive
options that are just a fingertip away."
Information Technology (IT) often receives the most attention
when it comes to safeguarding the integrity of data and assets.
Operational Technology (OT) – systems that monitor, control and
protect processes, equipment and operational environments – can be
another entry point, and often needs similar or more care in
today's ever-connected technology landscape.
Honeywell is extending its cybersecurity services and products
for the buildings OT environment to enable customers to better
protect their assets and people. The Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity
solutions include:
- Cybersecurity Assessment – A professional review
of buildings OT systems using industry best practices to identify
potential vulnerabilities or gaps. A detailed report is developed
to establish a cyber-status baseline and a prioritized action
list.
- Secure Design and Configuration – Design or modify
existing OT infrastructure to enhance the physical, network and
application layers and help reduce risk and mitigate unexpected
costs.
- Cybersecurity Appliances and Software – The installation
and maintenance of cybersecurity hardware and software including
firewalls, Secure Media Exchange (SMX), advanced end-point
security, and backup/restore appliances, to help monitor and
protect OT systems,
- Cybersecurity Monitoring and Remote Management – Enables
monitoring of OT systems and push alerts regarding performance or
security issues. This can be extended to include Remote Management
services, as well as Honeywell's 24/7 Security Operation Centre
(SoC) monitoring.
- Incident Readiness and Advisory – Establishes
incident response processes that enable more efficient containment,
triage and resolution to regain normal business operations in the
event of an incident.
"Increasing connectivity to OT systems typically enhances
security, promoting visibility and allowing previously unidentified
security issues to be more efficiently realized. It is a more
proactive approach to monitoring and maintaining the systems to be
undertaken – the days of leaving OT systems unmanaged, unpatched
and unmonitored are over," said David
Trice, vice president and general manager, Honeywell
Connected Enterprise, Buildings.
