Honeywell Cyber Insights
Continuous OT network monitoring platform, formerly the SCADAfence product line.
Technical Architecture & Overview
Honeywell Cyber Insights provides passive OT monitoring, asset discovery, and threat detection for large industrial networks. The platform came to Honeywell through its 2023 acquisition of SCADAfence, and the standalone SCADAfence brand no longer exists. Integration with Honeywell industrial controls gives it a route into process environments already running Honeywell equipment.
Targeted Technical Use Cases
Industrial operators, especially Honeywell DCS customers, adding OT monitoring through their control vendor.
Evaluation & Trade-offs
Core Strengths
- +Vendor alignment with existing Honeywell control systems.
- +Large-scale deployment heritage from SCADAfence.
- +Passive monitoring suits sensitive process networks.
Trade-Offs & Limitations
- -Brand transition complicates comparisons and documentation.
- -Attractive mostly inside Honeywell-aligned estates.
Defensive Security Application
OT asset visibility and threat detection for process networks under an automation vendor umbrella.
