[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and Acalvio Technologies” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″]ATLANTA AND SANTA CLARA b January 11, 2022 b Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) and Acalvio Technologies announced today the launch of a new solution designed to detect known and unknown (zero-day) attacks across the operational technology (OT) environments in commercial buildings. Honeywell Threat Defense Platform (HTDP) powered by AcalvioB. employs sophisticated active defense b featuring autonomous deception tactics to outsmart attackers b and provides high fidelity threat detection. Honeywellbs technology features an approach recommended by governments and cybersecurity standard bodies because of its ability to detect and control attacks.¹[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Traditionally, building OT environments rely on prevention ” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″]Traditionally, building OT environments rely on prevention technology and passive detection such as perimeter security and network traffic analysis to secure systems. Yet, more than 1 in 4 (27%) surveyed facility managers experienced a cyber breach of their OT systems in the last 12 months, according to a recent survey conducted by Honeywell Building Technologies. Threat actors continue to target building systems with both targeted attacks and ransomware attacks. These attacks can go beyond accessing private customer data and may potentially impair the operations for critical organizations that keep society running such as utilities, data centers, hospitals and airports.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HTDP uses deception tactics to confuse” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″]HTDP uses deception tactics to confuse and mislead threats away from critical assets and devices, resulting in low false alerts and a high rate of detection. The solution leads threat actors to decoy assets, which appear to be valuable OT and IT devices; however, none of the devices are real and there is no access to the enterprise assets. The solution makes real, critical operational devices harder to find, slowing down adversaries and helping security teams capture them faster.

Using specially crafted deception elements, HTDP also helps detect ransomware and even zero-day variants with precision and speed. HTDP uses advanced analytics to confirm and investigate threats.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Webre excited to work with Honeywell to secure” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″]bWebre excited to work with Honeywell to secure and keep building OT systems properly operating while also protecting the people and data throughout an organization,b said Ram Varadarajan, co-founder and CEO, Acalvio Technologies. bImportantly, this technology is something that can benefit every building and facility b especially those that do not have teams of cyber experts. It requires no prior knowledge of attacker tactics and can be deployed without special training or modifications to existing OT environments.b [/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”The HTDP solution includes deployment and ongoing” _builder_version=”4.7.0″ _module_preset=”default” link_text_color=”#a21d20″]The HTDP solution includes deployment and ongoing monitoring, freeing up internal security team resources. Advanced artificial intelligence makes the service easy to use and scalable. HTDP is well-suited for organizations that desire advanced intrusion detection in their building network without having to install or operate complex technology. HTDP can be deployed across both IT and OT environments as either an on-premises offering or cloud service.
