    The Honeywell AI Digital Suite features two new key offerings – Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense and the Honeywell OT Security Operations Center – focused on proactively defending operational technology (OT) infrastructure from advanced cyber threats.

    Leveraging AI-based behavioral analytics, these tools help detect anomalies in real-time and provide actionable intelligence to mitigate risk and safeguard mission-critical operations.

    “Industries today demand enterprise-wide, AI-enabled solutions that can adapt to dynamic conditions. Our new technologies empower organizations to rethink how they operate, ensuring greater efficiency, safety, and competitive advantage,” said Pramesh Maheshwari, President, Honeywell Process Solutions.

    Key Features of the Honeywell AI Digital Suite:
    • Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense: Uses AI to analyze OT network behavior, detect anomalies, and deploy deception technology to mislead cyber attackers. It helps preempt security breaches by monitoring system baselines and providing real-time, actionable alerts.
    • Honeywell OT Security Operations Center: A 24/7/365, vendor-agnostic cyber monitoring and incident response platform that integrates seamlessly into industrial environments. It delivers continuous visibility into OT threats and helps organizations respond proactively.
    • Expanded Honeywell Digital Prime Ecosystem: Incorporates Solution Enhancement Support Program (SESP), Enabled Services, and Assurance 360 in a unified interface. This expansion allows companies to simulate and validate engineering changes before deployment, reducing downtime and increasing throughput across operations.
