Honeywell Launches Cyber Consulting Wing to Address Customer Skills Gap

Honeywell has launched CyberVantage (TM) a cyber service for its Industrial Internet of Things customers. This includes penetration testing to identify and eliminate security weaknesses.

Announcing the move at an annual customer conference in Madrid, Honeywell Process Solutions, which is focused on process industries, said it was an "imperative" and "logical" step to take.

Process industries are concerned with processing bulk resources into other products and include the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Mike Spear is Honeywell's global operations director for Industrial Cybersecurity.

Technology partners include Intel Security which includes the McAfee business purchased by Intel in February 2011. Relevant related institutions include ICS-CERT, the Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, part of the NCCIC (National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center).
