SAN ANTONIO, June 9, 2025 – Honeywell today announced new digital technologies that leverage artificial intelligence and are designed to accelerate the industrial shift from automation to autonomy.
At the 49th annual Honeywell Users Group, the company introduced a suite of AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions designed to bolster the defenses of operational technology (OT) environments against the evolving landscape of cyber threats. Together, Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense and Honeywell OT Security Operations Center will help companies reduce the risk of cyberattacks in industrial environments, increase resiliency and support continuous operations.
The company also announced the expansion of the Honeywell Digital Prime platform to encompass an enterprise-wide set of solutions that effectively test and modify engineering projects before implementation, helping reduce plant downtime and increase throughput when deployed into production.
In a recent survey of 300 U.S. decision-makers and influencers in energy and energy-adjacent industries, Honeywell found that 91% believe AI has near-term potential to enhance energy security, and 85% are already either actively using or piloting AI in their companies today.
“Industries are seeking AI-enabled, enterprise-wide solutions that adapt and make decisions in dynamic conditions, and our new digital technologies help them create safer, more reliable and more efficient operations,” said Pramesh Maheshwari, president of Honeywell Process Solutions. “As we guide our customers on the path from automation to autonomy, Honeywell’s domain expertise is poised to help them rethink how they use technology to drive innovation and gain a competitive edge.”
The new solutions include:
- Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense, which is designed to enhance cybersecurity for industrial environments by proactively identifying and mitigating potential cyber threats before they manifest into attacks. By utilizing AI and behavioral-based analytics, the solution helps detect anomalies in OT cyber behavior by establishing a comprehensive baseline of system operations and then provides actionable insights designed to strengthen OT cyber defenses. The software also features deception technology, which uses decoys within the network to help divert attackers from valuable assets.
- Honeywell OT Security Operations Center, a vendor-agnostic and agentless service designed to provide industrials with advanced capabilities tailored to OT environments to monitor for early signs of a cyberattack. The offering integrates on-site incident management services, providing a 24/7/365 holistic view of the cyber threat landscape for users.
- Honeywell Digital Prime Ecosystem, which now features three core Honeywell offerings – Solution Enhancement Support Program (SESP), Enabled Services and Assurance 360 – in one platform. Through consolidation, users can now leverage deep domain knowledge to optimize control systems and improve maintenance and operational effectiveness across an entire organization. It will also offer near real-time performance insights that can help users achieve desired outcomes more quickly, while requiring less reliance on the technical expertise of an experienced workforce.
Honeywell Cyber Proactive Defense and OT Security Operations Center are now available globally. The expanded version of the Honeywell Digital Prime ecosystem will be available to customers in Q4 2025.
