by Brianna Crandall — March 2, 2016—Continuing Honeywell’s multi-vendor approach, Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) and Palo Alto Networks are collaborating on a joint solution to boost the cybersecurity capabilities of control systems used by industrial facilities and critical infrastructure.
Given the issue that “connecting vital infrastructure to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) comes with tremendous benefit, but also associated cyber risks,” Honeywell’s Industrial Cyber Security business is now offering the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security Platform to industrial customers.
The collaboration enables customers to better prevent cyberattacks against their Process Control Networks (PCN) and Operational Technology (OT) environments in order to protect their assets and maximize production uptime and safety.
The joint solution offers a high level of process network traffic monitoring and advanced threat prevention across the automation environment. It combines Palo Alto Networks’ advanced and natively integrated security platform with Honeywell’s process control domain expertise to provide a cybersecurity solution tailored for industrial customers.
The next-generation offering enhances Honeywell’s comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity solutions, including its Industrial Cyber Security Risk Manager platform.
