SCADAfence, an Israeli startup providing OT & IoT cyber security, has been acquired by American aerospace and high-tech conglomerate Honeywell. While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, some estimate that it could be worth tens of millions of Dollars.
It was just a few months ago that SCADAfence raised $16 million with investments from Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric and Prosegur corporations. The company raised about $40 million in total investment.
SCADAfence will integrate into the Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ suite providing expanded asset discovery, threat detection, and compliance management capabilities.

If you ever watched a show like 24, then you know that a terrorist attack done by way of hacking into a public utility’s systems is one of the scariest threats to public safety. Imagine someone getting control over a power plant, or many power plants, and shutting down a whole region’s power supply. Now imagine it happening to an entire country or continent.
Now think about your local water supply. Imagine someone disrupting the flow of drinking water or contaminating the supply. Or imagine someone doing any of these things for money made through extortion. This is where SCADAfence comes in.
“We are thrilled to join Honeywell as we work towards fulfilling our mission of empowering industrial organizations to operate securely, reliably and efficiently.
