IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of technology and service suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the circles.

Why this assessment matters

Operational technology security is becoming a business resilience priority. Industrial organizations must protect complex environments while maintaining safety, reliability and operational availability.

The IDC MarketScape evaluated 21 worldwide  providers across four distinct categories, considering their current capabilities and the alignment of their strategies with customers’ future requirements. The assessment examines a market increasingly shaped by regulation, data sovereignty, IT/OT convergence, specialized talent requirements, AI-assisted security operations and outcome-based delivery.

In the excerpt, discover:

• Why IDC MarketScape positions Honeywell in the Leaders Category
• How Honeywell combines OT security services, software and engineering expertise
• Considerations for evaluating managed OT security and incident-response providers
• Practical recommendations for strengthening OT security ownership, asset visibility, segmentation, monitoring and response readiness

IDC MarketScape says to consider Honeywell when:

• OT environments include Honeywell-native systems, or other Honeywell automation platforms, where proprietary protocol depth and direct OEM engineering access deliver IR and detection accuracy unavailable from third-party providers.
• A blended IT/OT managed SOC for industrial-heavy environments, oil and gas, petrochemicals, power, energy, or mining, is preferred.
• Plant-level incident response with genuine process control depth is a priority, tracing production impact to its source in industrial environments.
• Outcome-based approach and value-added services are highly valued.

The IDC MarketScape highlights:

OEM heritage industrial depth

“When a security event originates in Honeywell-built equipment, its IR team traces production impact to its source while managing the cyberinvestigation. When the issue reaches Honeywell-manufactured controllers, the field team can call the product design engineer directly.”

Full-spectrum OT security services

Honeywell’s “OT IR retainers include 24 x 7 remote engagement with an agreed upon onsite SLA calibrated to sites accessible only by helicopter or boat.”

Managed security services and OT SOC

“Honeywell’s OT SOCs operate from four locations: Dubai (UAE), Romania, Houston and Duluth (United States), delivering 24x7 threat monitoring. The IDC MarketScape also notes that “Honeywell offers a blended IT/OT SOC for industrial sector clients such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power, and mining.”

Customer loyalty despite friction

 “A Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 74 and client switching intent of 4% in IDC’s Global OT Security Services Survey reflect sustained client confidence in Honeywell as a long-term industrial security partner.”
