Honeywell: OT Security Teams Embrace AI, but Autonomy Still Rare

Refract AI Intelligence Digest

BLUF

Perceived OT security maturity contradicts critical gaps in asset visibility and automation.

NEWS

Honeywell data shows 88% of industrial leaders rate their OT programs as mature, while only 21% possess a complete asset inventory. Teams are integrating AI but hesitate to grant it autonomous control over security operations.

Why I Care

Lacking asset visibility undermines defense capabilities, creating blind spots in critical infrastructure regardless of perceived program maturity. This exposes industrial operators and national infrastructure to heightened risk from undetected compromises.

Next Steps

Security teams must conduct immediate OT asset discovery audits to validate inventory completeness before scaling AI tools. Leaders should revise maturity assessments based on verified visibility data within the next quarter.

Only 21% of industrial security leaders report a complete OT asset inventory, even as 88% call their programs mature. The post Honeywell: OT Security Teams Embrace AI, but Autonomy Still Rare appeared first on SecurityWeek.
