Honeywell released a report (full report available at link), "Protecting Operational Technology in Facilities from Cyber Threats: Constraints and Realities," highlighting that improving cybersecurity for operational technology (OT) systems ranks as one of the top priorities for surveyed facility managers over the next 12 to 18 months. This is likely because more than 7 in 10 (71%) of surveyed facility managers consider OT cybersecurity a concern or worry. Respondents cite OT cybersecurity as the building improvement that would provide the greatest benefit to their stakeholders. The report is the third in Honeywell's 2021 Building Trends series. The survey findings indicate that facility managers recognize the potential threat of an OT cyberattack and acknowledge the importance for building occupants.
