The new software-led solution enables
organizations to defend against cybersecurity threats in
their operational technology (OT) environments
ATLANTA, May 23, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) today announced the release
of its operational technology (OT) cybersecurity solution,
Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ | Cyber Insights, to
assist customers in improving the availability, reliability and
safety of their industrial control systems and operations.
Cyber Insights is designed to integrate information from
multiple OT data sources in order to provide a customer with
actionable insights into their facility's cybersecurity
vulnerabilities and threats, allowing the customer to manage their
compliance strategy, thereby helping reduce their overall
cybersecurity risks.
Companies with OT systems face challenges in obtaining the
necessary information to reduce the likelihood and impact of
cyberattacks and to stay compliant with standards and regulations
that may be applicable to them. These challenges are compounded by
the shortage of available cybersecurity skills in operational
technology, with a cyber security workforce gap of more than 3.4
million people.1 Despite attempts to implement various
solutions, success is difficult to achieve due to the complexity of
the tools, the overwhelming volume of security data generated, and
the lack of solutions specifically designed for OT.
"Organizations should leverage technology to address worker
shortages, while at the same time gaining clear visibility into
their OT facilities' cybersecurity posture to help them make faster
decisions and reduce cyber risk," said Michael Ruiz, vice president and general
manager, Honeywell OT Cybersecurity Innovation. "Cyber Insights is
a tool designed to provide customers with detection and insights so
that cybersecurity leaders can better understand and monitor their
then current security profile, while also being able to detect and
mitigate the latest threats."
Cyber Insights brings a tailored approach by providing a
purpose-built cybersecurity solution for OT environments and users.
It is designed to offer a site-level view of a facility's
cybersecurity posture and provide insights into security events,
vulnerabilities, active threats and to manage compliance. Cyber
Insights is designed to help organizations strengthen their cyber
resilience and to respond faster to incidents through access to
critical information at the right time.
Cyber Insights is pre-configured for OT use, with already
available customization options designed to address certain needs
specific to different industrial environments, while being vendor
agnostic so that it can be deployed on Honeywell control systems as
well as many other systems. It is also deployed, supported and
maintained by Honeywell Cyber Care services during the applicable
subscription license term, to help customers maintain continuous
tuning and optimization as required for any system to run in peak
form.
"Honeywell has successfully positioned itself as a 'one-stop
shop' system integrator and solution provider across different
spectrums of operational technology (OT) cybersecurity for over 20
years," said Avimanyu Basu, senior lead analyst at ISG. "Being
vendor-agnostic, Honeywell is well-equipped to work on almost any
device and provide the necessary services for assessment and
remediation."
