Honeywell va achiziționa SCADAfence, consolidându-și portofoliul de software de securitate cibernetică

CHARLOTTE, NC – July 10, 2023 – Honeywell (Nasdaq: ON) today announced it has agreed to acquire SCADAfence, a leading provider of operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity solutions for monitoring large-scale networks. SCADAfence brings proven capabilities in asset discovery, threat detection and security governance which are key to industrial and buildings management cybersecurity programs.

The OT cybersecurity industry is expected to grow to greater than $10 billion in the next several years. Particularly in the industrial sector, cyberattacks focused on OT systems can be a significant source of unplanned downtime, with estimates that unplanned downtime represents over a trillion dollars in lost revenue for the industrial and critical infrastructure sectors.1

„Este esențial să se protejeze și să se mențină integritatea sistemelor operaționale, cum ar fi echipamentele de control al proceselor, în unitățile de producție. O simplă încălcare în mediul OT are potențialul de a crea riscuri de siguranță și continuitate a afacerii pentru organizațiile de toate dimensiunile. Activele OT sunt în mod inerent diferite de cele din mediul IT, deoarece sunt specifice domeniului. Honeywell livrează și instalează aceste sisteme de zeci de ani, motiv pentru care ne-am lansat afacerea de securitate cibernetică în urmă cu mai bine de douăzeci de ani. Adăugarea portofoliului de produse SCADAfence ne va consolida capacitățile și ne va ajuta clienții să se apere împotriva riscurilor de securitate cibernetică care cresc progresiv”, a declarat Kevin Dehoff, președinte și director executiv, Honeywell Connected Enterprise.

Portofoliul de produse SCADAfence se va integra în Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ suite within Honeywell Connected Enterprise, Honeywell’s fast-growing software arm with strategic focus on digitalization, sustainability and OT cybersecurity SaaS offerings and solutions. This integration will enable Honeywell to provide an end-to-end enterprise OT cybersecurity solution to site managers, operations management and CISOs seeking enterprise security management and situational awareness. The acquisition strengthens existing capabilities in cybersecurity and bolsters Honeywell’s high-growth OT cybersecurity portfolio, helping customers operate more securely, reliably and efficiently.

“SCADAfence is an ideal complement to Honeywell’s OT cybersecurity portfolio and, when combined with the Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ suite, it enables us to provide an end-to-end solution with applicability to asset, site and enterprise across key Honeywell sectors,” said Dehoff. “By enhancing our cybersecurity portfolio, we are accessing a growth engine and enabling our customers to operate their OT environments more securely and help to avoid disruption and possible catastrophic events.”

“We are thrilled to join Honeywell as we work towards fulfilling our mission of empowering industrial organizations to operate securely, reliably and efficiently. This combination creates significant opportunity for growth, allowing us to combine our top-tier OT cybersecurity products with one of the world’s leading companies in industrial software,” said Elad Ben Meir, chief executive officer, SCADAfence. “With this acquisition, we are poised to deliver some of the most advanced OT security technology to Honeywell’s broad customer base, bolstering the comprehensive Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ offering. We remain committed to proactively serving and supporting our customers across all verticals and geographies where we currently operate.”

SCADAfence are sediul în Tel Aviv, Israel și va extinde Centrul de Excelență în Securitate Cibernetică al Honeywell din Tel Aviv. Honeywell a implementat soluții de securitate cibernetică OT de mai bine de douăzeci de ani, livrând mii de proiecte în peste 130 de țări, cu peste 500 de angajați din întreaga lume, concentrați în mod special pe securitatea cibernetică OT.

Tranzacția este de așteptat să se încheie în a doua jumătate a anului 2023, sub rezerva condițiilor obișnuite de închidere, inclusiv primirea anumitor aprobări de reglementare.
