Honeywell has 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.

Clear visibility

Honeywell says that Cyber Insights is designed to integrate information from multiple OT data sources in order to provide the customer with actionable insights into their facility’s cybersecurity vulnerabilities and threats, allowing them to manage their compliance strategy, thereby helping reduce overall cybersecurity risks.

“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.”

Cybersecurity

Cyber Insights brings a tailored approach by providing a purpose-built cybersecurity solution for OT environments and users, Honeywell says. 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. The company highlights that it is designed to help organizations strengthen their cyber-resilience and to respond faster to incidents through access to critical information at the right time.

Honeywell also says that 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 the company’s 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.
