Chemical Pro-cessing magazine presented Honeywell with a 2005 Vaaler Award for its Process Control Network (PCN) Security Services Suite, a software-based service developed in response to the growing threat of cyber terrorism.

Honeywell is one of only three companies this year to receive the prestigious award, which recognizes the key roles that suppliers' innovations can play in helping plants achieve and maintain peak operating safety and efficiency.

Commercialized in 2004, the PCN Security Services suite is a systematic approach to the assessment, design, implementation and management of a customer's process control network.

Honeywell professionals with both IT and process-control experience perform these services, which take a comprehensive approach to resolving process control network security concerns and issues.

The suite includes:

An assessment service that establishes a baseline used to identify vulnerabilities and to create a set of recommendations that outline necessary and practical changes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

A design service that provides details of the security infrastructure connecting a process control network to a plant information network.

On-site service from Honeywell engineers who implement the design.

PCN security management services administered from Honeywell's Remote Services Center in Phoenix.

The Honeywell PCN Security Services are directed at the process control environment to ensure that sites are protected from cyber threats. But many customers are more broadly applying the offering to include industrial security, which also addresses the physical aspect of protecting a facility.
