New Honeywell AI tools to boost industrial cybersecurity

By Staff Report June 25, 2025 11:49 am IST

Honeywell has introduced new AI tools to strengthen industrial cybersecurity and support safer, more resilient operations.

Honeywell introduced new AI-enabled digital technologies at the 49th annual Honeywell Users Group (HUG) to expedite the shift from industrial automation to autonomous systems. Honeywell launched two cybersecurity solutions, Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defence and Honeywell OT Security Operations Centre, and enhanced its Digital Prime platform to improve operational efficiency and system resiliency.

Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defence uses AI and behavioural analytics to detect anomalies in OT environments. It establishes a baseline for system operations, provides actionable insights, and employs deception techniques to divert attackers away from critical assets.

The Honeywell OT Security Operations Centre is a vendor-neutral, agentless solution that provides 24/7 monitoring for early signals of cyber threats in OT systems. It incorporates on-site incident management and provides a comprehensive overview of the cyber threat landscape.

Honeywell improved the Digital Prime Ecosystem by uniting three services Solution Enhancement Support Program (SESP), Enabled Services, and Assurance 360 on a single platform. It allows businesses to test and adjust engineering projects before deployment, reducing downtime and increasing throughput while providing near-real-time performance information.

According to a Honeywell poll of 300 U.S. decision-makers in energy and related sectors, 91% believe AI has near-term potential to improve energy security, and 85% are either employing or testing AI.

Pramesh Maheshwari, President of Honeywell Process Solutions, stated, Industries are looking for AI-enabled, enterprise-wide solutions that can adapt and make decisions in dynamic environments, and our new digital technologies help them develop safer, more dependable, and efficient operations. As we guide our customers on the path from automation to autonomy, Honeywell’s domain expertise is poised to help them rethink how they use technology to drive innovation and gain a competitive edge.”

Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defence and the OT Security Operations Centre are now available internationally. The expanded Honeywell Digital Prime Ecosystem will be available in Q4 2025.
