Honeywell Cyber Insights
Honeywell OT monitoring platform for asset visibility, threat detection, and compliance management in industrial networks.
Technical Architecture & Overview
Honeywell Cyber Insights provides passive OT monitoring, asset discovery, and threat detection for large industrial networks. Honeywell launched Cyber Insights in May 2023 and acquired SCADAfence in August 2023; the former SCADAfence website now redirects to the Cyber Insights page. The product is vendor-agnostic, and 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.
- +Deploys on Honeywell and many non-Honeywell control system environments.
- +Passive monitoring suits sensitive process networks.
Trade-Offs & Limitations
- -Multi-site and governance views require the separate Cyber Watch offering.
- -Sold as a subscription, with deployment and maintenance through Honeywell Cyber Care services.
Defensive Security Application
OT asset visibility and threat detection for process networks under an automation vendor umbrella.
