Omdia Names Honeywell a Market Leader in OT Cybersecurity Services

Omdia’s 2025-26 Operational Technology (OT) Cybersecurity Services Report has recognized Honeywell as a market leader, citing the company’s extensive service breadth and global execution capabilities. The report highlights a critical gap in the sector, noting that only 36% of organizations feel fully prepared to handle OT security with internal teams amid rising cyber risks and alert fatigue. This recognition underscores the growing importance of specialized third-party services in securing critical infrastructure and industrial environments against increasingly complex threats.

Omdia’s comprehensive evaluation of the OT cybersecurity landscape involved a survey of 220 cybersecurity professionals who provided ratings based on direct working experience with various providers. Honeywell achieved best-in-class status in four out of six key cybersecurity quadrants, specifically excelling in OT Managed Security Services (MSS), solution breadth, strategy and innovation, and market momentum. Additionally, the company received top-tier accolades for its OT platforms and vendor execution, reflecting its ability to support critical operations without causing operational disruption.

The report identifies significant challenges facing industrial and building control environments, where specialized personnel are scarce and early threat signals often get lost in a high volume of alerts. According to Omdia’s findings, alert fatigue and noise management are primary concerns for cybersecurity leaders, contributing to the fact that nearly two-thirds of organizations do not feel "very prepared" with their in-house security capabilities. Honeywell’s position as a leader is attributed to its capacity to address these gaps through a vendor-agnostic portfolio designed to function across a wide range of diverse OT environments.

Honeywell’s service offerings include more than 30 professional OT cybersecurity services, ranging from initial assessments and penetration testing to network design, remediation, and employee training. The Omdia report specifically singled out Honeywell’s depth of industry expertise and its ability to execute on a global scale as defining factors for its market leadership. For the cybersecurity sector, these findings highlight a shift toward comprehensive, managed service models as organizations struggle to maintain the specialized expertise required to protect increasingly complex and interconnected industrial assets.
