Technology Honeywell opens new center to strengthen Saudi Arabia's industrial cybersecurity By Honeywell runs training programs to help transform Saudi Arabia into a knowledge-based economy, equipping Saudi nationals with essential technical skills in various sectors including energy, automation, and aviation Honeywell launched a new centre in Jubail, Saudi Arabia to provide localised cybersecurity services for critical industrial sectors in the Kingdom. The Honeywell Himaya Center, located in the company's Jubail office, underscores the alignment of Honeywell's portfolio to three compelling mega trends including automation, the company said. The centre is designed to strengthen industrial cybersecurity capabilities in the Kingdom by offering robust Operational Technology (OT) security solutions to address today's evolving threats, while helping businesses maintain regulatory compliance. It will provide in-country Managed Security Services (MSS) to key sectors including energy, manufacturing and utilities. This includes Honeywell's flagship Cyber Insight and Cyber Watch software solutions, which help businesses maintain continuous compliance with the National Cybersecurity Authority (NCA) OT Cybersecurity Controls (OTCC) regulations, and aim to support the use of automation and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies. 'The launch of the Honeywell Himaya Center is a testament to our dedication to supporting Saudi Arabia's localisation and industrial transformation objectives, and the ambitious vision set forth by the IKTVA program,' said Abdullah Al-Juffali, president, Honeywell Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. 'The new centre will bring critical local cybersecurity capabilities to the Kingdom, and support the growth of a resilient and self-reliant industrial ecosystem.' Saudi Arabia's cybersecurity market is expected to grow from US $3.6bn today to $10.5bn by 2032. This growth is driven by digital transformation, rising cyber threats, and initiatives like Vision 2030. The increasing reliance on cloud technologies and focus on data protection are fueling demand for advanced security solutions across key industries. 'Industrial automation and AI are pivotal in driving operational efficiency and business resilience across critical industries,' said George Bou Mitri, President, Honeywell Industrial Automation for the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and Central Asia. 'The target of the Honeywell Himaya Center is to provide unparalleled support to businesses, helping them navigate the complexities of industrial cybersecurity and leverage the benefits of advanced automation technologies.' Honeywell has been present in Saudi Arabia for over 70 years, delivering solutions and contributing to the government's vision to advance technology adoption and advance sustainability efforts.
