The firms have joined forces to develop new cyber security solutions designed to support buildings and critical infrastructure sites.
Sapien Cyber has announced it has partnered with Honeywell Building Technologies in a bid to develop solutions aimed at addressing escalating cyber security threats and governance requirements.
Sapien is expected to leverage its OT Cybersecurity Threat Management System to support Honeywell’s building and digital video management systems, in an effort to deliver improved occupant outcomes, performance insights, and operational efficiencies.
“We are incredibly excited to be working with an organisation with the global reputation of Honeywell, which will provide a single solution unique to the Honeywell/Sapien partnership that will address client’s end-to-end cyber security requirements,” Glenn Murray, Sapien Cyber CEO, said.
“The Australian government’s recent Security Legislation (Critical Infrastructure) Bill 2020 underscores the increasing cyber threat and the responsibilities placed upon businesses, their respective boards and management team responsible for managing critical infrastructure.”
Brodie Raffaele, global director, operations at Honeywell Building Technologies, said the partnership would expand and enhance the firm’s cyber security portfolio, providing “cost-effective and practical solutions”.
“Buildings and critical infrastructure face unique OT challenges and the likelihood and impact of a cyber-attack cannot be overlooked or underestimated,” he said.
“Honeywell is committed to helping its customers transform their buildings and critical infrastructure sites, whilst doing it in a safe and secure way.”
Sapien and Honeywell are currently collaborating on a number of pilot projects in Australia, including a hospital and correctional facility.
