Honeywell releases OT cybersecurity benchmark report

Honeywell Technologies has announced the release of its 2026 Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Benchmark Report, based on a survey of more than 600 global industrial cybersecurity leaders.

• The report says 88% of respondents described their OT cybersecurity programs as mature, but only 21% had a complete inventory of OT assets, and 33% had fully integrated OT into a centralized security operations center.
• It also found an average of 16.2 hours of downtime from significant incidents, with losses of up to $500,000 per hour, while 99% expect AI to affect OT security within two to three years; the release is from Honeywell Technologies and quotes Jim Masso, President and CEO of Honeywell Technologies Process Automation.
