AI-Powered OT Defense: Detect, Hunt, and Respond Smarter
Stop threats, not operations.
Worms, Trojans, viruses and malware can often go completely unnoticed if delivered through a removable device like a USB or a plug-in hardware. Honeywell SMX uses on-prem hardware solutions, backed by threat intelligence software, to help security personnel scan and quarantine removable media before entering an industrial site. It also provides USB- port lockdown for on-site devices like laptops and servers.
