ATLANTA, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON), a global leader in industrial cybersecurity,
today announced the release of new software that simplifies,
strengthens and scales cybersecurity for asset-intensive businesses
and critical infrastructure facing cyberthreats.
The Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity Platform improves

performance by giving customers the tools they need to strengthen
their cybersecurity operations and asset management, all through a
single dashboard. In addition, multi-site, multi-vendor
capabilities support an enterprise-wide solution with greater
efficiencies and lower total cost of ownership regardless of the
control system used.
"Customers now have a better choice to strengthen industrial
cybersecurity across their enterprise to enable IT-OT convergence
and digital transformation, improving enterprise performance while
reducing the cost of cybersecurity," said Jeff Zindel, vice president and general manager,
Honeywell Connected Enterprise, Cybersecurity. "The Honeywell Forge
Cybersecurity Platform provides multiple industry-proven
capabilities in a single dashboard to simplify cybersecurity
management and better protect people, processes and assets from
evolving cyberthreats."
