Honeywell’s cyber security Risk Manager allows industrial users real-time visibility
Today next-generation technologies for digital transformation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and best-practices in process control and automation help manufacturers improve business performance. According to a recent research by Accenture, the IIoT could contribute $14.2 trillion to world output by 2030.
“India has immense potential of benefitting from the technology if it improves its infrastructure and skills that will help support the adoption of new technologies,” said Bruce Calder, Chief Technology Officer for HPS while talking at the company’s users summit, held in Mumbai recently.
However, as organisations adapt technologies to help them take advantage of the benefits of the IIoT, the increased connectivity also brings added risk. As organisations are increasing operations in cyberspace, the threats of cyber attacks are also increasing. So, apart from securing important data from malicious groups or individuals, today it is essential to protect human resources and physical infrastructure from cyber attacks.
“With increasing connectivity, there is an immediate need for cyber security solutions that take a measured approach to managing the industrial IT lifecycle,” said Vikas Chadha, Managing Director, Honeywell Automation India Limited and HPS India Leader. “Increasing plant reliability by using next generation cyber security solutions will be critical.”
