AI-Powered OT Defense: Detect, Hunt, and Respond Smarter

Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense uses AI and machine learning to deliver continuous monitoring, advanced threat hunting, and expert analysis. It helps detect and respond to OT cyber threats before they impact operations, reduces false positives, and strengthens your OT network’s resilience—empowering smarter, faster, and more accurate cyber defense.

Stop Threats, Not Operations.

Worms, Trojans, viruses and malware can often go completely unnoticed if delivered through a removable device like a USB or a plug-in hardware. Honeywell SMX uses on-prem hardware solutions, backed by threat intelligence software, to help security personnel scan and quarantine removable media before entering an industrial site. It also provides USB- port lockdown for on-site devices like laptops and servers.

Simply Scan to Stop Threats Before They Enter Your OT Environment

Honeywell SMX scans, analyzes and secures removable media like USBs, SD cards and plug-in hardware before they connect to your systems. Better enforce policies and compliance with just a simple scan.

Backed by Honeywell Cyber Threat Intelligence and Google Intelligence

Honeywell SMX combines capabilities from Honeywell Cyber Threat Intelligence and Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) to provide near real-time detection, policy enforcement and secure media handling - without disrupting operations. When combined with SMX, GTI enhances threat detection by adding global, near real-time context to local media control - enabling faster, smarter decision making before threats ever reach your OT environment. It’s used at hundreds of sites worldwide to protect critical infrastructure from media-borne threats.

Tough Enough for the Toughest Environments

Honeywell SMX hardware features rugged, portable form factors designed for industrial sites, enabling secure scanning and control in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Honeywell Secure Media Exchange (SMX)?

The Honeywell Secure Media Exchange (SMX) is composed of four key components: the SMX Gateway (or scanning kiosk), the Cyber Threat Engine, the Enterprise Threat Management Portal, and the SMX Client enforcement driver.

What is the purpose of SMX?

SMX is designed to reduce cybersecurity risks and business disruptions for industrial organizations by enhancing protections for removable media, such as USBs. It helps organizations manage USB ports within their facilities to mitigate cyber risks associated with unauthorized use. SMX is designed to detect malware and other security threats before they can be transmitted to critical infrastructure via USBs.

What is the Cyber Threat Engine?

Honeywell's Cyber Threat Engine is designed to enhance cyber threat detection capabilities in industrial and critical infrastructure environments. SMX leverages a collection of Honeywell and third-party threat data, and threat detection components focused on OT environments. The Cyber Threat Engine is designed to provide malware detection and analysis capabilities that complement threat data sources from industry-leading security companies. Our service is designed to be fully managed and updated by the cybersecurity team at Honeywell.
