Honeywell Invests in Cybersecurity Innovation Center in Asia Pacific

By

In a recent announcement, Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) and the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) have said they will jointly establish a new industrial cybersecurity center of excellence (COE) for Asia Pacific, in Singapore. The COE will feature a state-of-the-art cybersecurity research and development lab, an advanced training facility and a security operations center that provides managed security services.

“Honeywell's major investments in new industrial cyber security technologies, services, and advanced research – including this new center of excellence in Singapore – will further strengthen our ability to secure and protect industrial assets, operations and people,” said Jeff Zindel, VP and GM, Honeywell Industrial Cyber Security. “The COE will provide a world-class innovation platform for smart industry, critical infrastructure protection and securing the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in the Asia Pacific region.”

The new facility in Singapore, which is the first for Asia Pacific, is a further expansion of Honeywell's global network of innovation centers. The lab will be used for proprietary research and development of new cybersecurity technologies and products, hands-on training and certifications, and testing and validation of industrial cybersecurity solutions. It will enable rapid development and introduction of innovative cybersecurity solutions to the regional and global markets.

“As part of Singapore's push toward Advanced Manufacturing and a digital economy, EDB has been actively partnering with the industrial and infrastructural sectors to embrace the potential of digitalization,” said Fong Pin Fen, director for Cities, Infrastructure & Industrial Solutions, EDB. “A key component of success in our efforts is cyber security. Critical systems will have to be protected and on this note, we are pleased to support Honeywell in the opening of its new Industrial Cyber Security COE, which will help the industry remain secure as it embarks on its digital transformation.”

The COE is expected to open by the end of 2017, and Honeywell is opening a similar facility in Dubai this year. Honeywell's first cybersecurity lab is based in Atlanta.
