Last week I had the good fortune to attend the 2016 Honeywell Users Group Americas<\/a> event in San Antonio, Texas. At this annual event, Honeywell customers from around the world come together to solve common problems in SCADA\/ICS and attend keynote speeches and roundtable discussions on topics such as the industrial internet of things (IIoT), cybersecurity, alarm management, and more.<\/p>\n

It also served as the first public exhibit of the results of the partnership we announced with Honeywell in February to jointly develop industrial cybersecurity solutions<\/a>. As described in Honeywell\u2019s keynote address, Honeywell has integrated Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewall technology into their industrial cybersecurity solution, Risk Manager<\/a>, to provide advanced network traffic inspection. With our next-generation firewall technology, Honeywell\u2019s industrial control customers will have much more insight into who is using which applications on the network, what assets and data they are accessing, and what threats may be trying to breach or pivot around the OT network. With that information, customers can take a more proactive approach to industrial cybersecurity, even protecting their networks from previously unknown attack methodologies.<\/p>\n

In addition to our next-generation firewall technology, Honeywell is offering the Palo Alto Networks WildFire<\/a> WF-500<\/a> zero-day, on-premises sandboxing device to augment their Honeywell Managed Industrial Cyber Security Services<\/a> offering. Designed to provide cybersecurity consulting services to customers who don\u2019t have the required expertise in-house, the services offering uses WildFire to provide Honeywell\u2019s security experts with the latest threat intelligence in real time.<\/p>\n
