“The addition of Nextnine’s technologies and talented employees enhances Honeywell’s position to deliver enterprise-wide, end-to-end industrial cyber security solutions that reduce cyber security risks, improve reliability, increase productivity and lower cost of operations to our combined customer base,” said Jeff Zindel, vice president and general manager of Honeywell’s Industrial Cyber Security business unit.

“Nextnine is joining a recognized global leader in industrial cyber security,” said Shmulik Aran, CEO of Nextnine. “We will now be able to leverage Honeywell’s reach, network and managed security services offerings to grow the impact of our technology and to help more customers in a more holistic way.”
