Honeywell recently announced
the formation of the
Industrial IT Solutions
group, a global team of experts that
can help manufacturers and process
industry facilities protect against
cyber threats.
The Industrial IT Solutions
Group, part of Honeywell Process
Solutions, specializes in the design,
performance assessment and
protection of networks used in the
process industry, including wireless
instrument and SCADA platforms.
Its offerings will provide a
comprehensive range of vendorneutral
technology and services
required to assess, remediate,
maintain and manage plant
automation network performance,
vulnerabilities and cyber security
measures.
“Automation network security
and performance has become a
critical component of plant safety
in the process industries,” said Jon
Lippin, Vice President and General
Manager, Honeywell Lifecycle
Solutions and Services for
Honeywell Process Solutions. “As
control networks continue to
expand and integrate to business
systems, the risks and complexity
of cyber vulnerabilities must be
addressed with the same vigilance
as process safety risks assessments.”
Honeywell's industrial IT
services are based on extensive
knowledge in IT systems and a deep
understanding of process control
environments. The company has
completed hundreds of industrial
IT projects across the globe, an
official release noted.
