Honeywell announces the launch of Honeywell Secure Media Exchange R201.1, an enterprise software offering to better protect users from advanced malware and firmware-based cybersecurity attacks from USB drives and other removable media.

"We are excited to expand Honeywell SMX as an enterprise security solution to include hardware device management with our TRUST V2 ," said Jeff Zindel, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Connected Enterprise Cybersecurity.

Honeywell SMX now includes an Enterprise Threat Management Portal to give users a view of all USB device activity across the organization, with the additional ability to implement file management features while centralizing reporting.

"It's not only removable media and malware that we need to worry about. USB devices of all types have become an increasingly serious risk to organizations, capable of crossing the air gap and targeting OT," said Eric Knapp, director of Cybersecurity Research and Senior Fellow, Honeywell Connected Enterprise, Cybersecurity.

"Honeywell SMX provides customers with an enforceable USB security solution that better protects against all types of USB threats, from hardware attack platforms to the latest targeted malware."
