Honeywell Strengthens OT Cybersecurity Suite for Resilience Against Next Generation of Industrial Cyber Threats

HOUSTON, June 8, 2026 – Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced the expansion of its Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Suite, delivering advanced, proactive protection for industrial environments facing an accelerating wave of sophisticated cyber threats. The enhanced portfolio integrates powerful new capabilities designed to defend critical infrastructure, streamline security compliance, and assist organizations to stay ahead of increasingly complex attacks.

Cyber-attacks against operational technology assets continue to grow in both frequency and sophisticationⁱ, however, according to The World Economic Forum’s annual Global Cybersecurity Outlookⁱⁱ, only 32% of organizations with industrial environments actively monitor OT systems and just 20% maintain dedicated OT security teams. Recognizing these risks, Honeywell’s OT Cybersecurity Suite equips industrial companies to move beyond reactive security models and adopt a unified, forward-looking approach to cyber resilience.

“The cybersecurity landscape for industrial organizations continues to evolve rapidly, with increasingly advanced threats targeting critical operations,” said Jim Masso, President and CEO of Honeywell Process Automation. “Organizations with a unified cybersecurity strategy across both digital and physical environments are setting a solid foundation for operational resilience while also avoiding potentially dangerous and costly attacks.”

New Features of Honeywell’s OT Cybersecurity Suite

Honeywell’s expanded OT cybersecurity suite includes five new capabilities that build on the platform’s current offerings to protect critical infrastructure and minimize operational risk:

• 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.

The comprehensive expansion of Honeywell’s OT Cybersecurity Suite is available now and is engineered for deployment across various sectors, including manufacturing, energy, and critical infrastructure.
