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

Honeywell released its 2026 OT Cybersecurity Benchmark Report on Tuesday, and the findings point to a disconnect between how industrial organizations rate their operational technology (OT) security programs and how prepared they actually are. The report also examines AI’s impact on OT security.

Among 603 surveyed leaders across critical infrastructure sectors, 88% characterized their OT security programs as mature or design-led, yet only 21% maintain a complete inventory of their OT assets.

Respondents worked across critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, oil and gas, healthcare, maritime, and manufacturing, with participation spanning the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions.
