Honeywell has maintained significant Israeli-origin software presence within its industrial technology product stack through targeted acquisitions. Honeywell acquired Nextnine Ltd., an Israeli industrial control systems (ICS) remote security and connectivity firm based in Petah Tikva, in June 2017 2. The Nextnine technology was integrated into Honeywell’s Process Solutions division and commercialized under the brand Honeywell Secure Connect, which later evolved into Honeywell Forge Cybersecurity+ 15. This product remained active in Honeywell’s industrial cybersecurity catalogue through at least 2024 15. Honeywell subsequently acquired SCADA fence, an Israeli OT/IoT cybersecurity company based in Tel Aviv/Ramat Gan, in July 2023 39. The acquisition expanded Honeywell’s Tel Aviv-based Cybersecurity Center of Excellence 3.
Palo Alto Networks is referenced in Honeywell’s industrial cybersecurity advisory ecosystem documentation (2022–2023) as a technology alliance partner, though this represents a partnership rather than acquisition; Palo Alto Networks was co-founded by Israeli nationals but is US-domiciled. No public evidence identified of Honeywell holding disclosed licensing, subscription, or integration relationships with Check Point, Wiz, SentinelOne, CyberArk, Verint, Claroty, or Nice as enterprise IT vendors. Honeywell’s primary digital transformation partnerships involve US-origin companies: Accenture, Microsoft, Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS. No public evidence identified that these integrators mandated or bundled Israeli-origin technology in Honeywell-specific engagements.
No public evidence identified of Honeywell deploying or integrating Israeli-origin facial recognition, biometric analytics, or surveillance tools (e.g., AnyVision/Oosto, BriefCam, Trigo, Trax) in its own operations or commercial products. No public evidence identified of Honeywell deploying Israeli-origin predictive analytics, social media monitoring, or workforce surveillance tools internally. No public evidence identified of Israeli-origin surveillance technology reaching Honeywell indirectly through managed services or bundled enterprise suites.
No public evidence identified of Honeywell operating, leasing, or co-locating data centre infrastructure within Israel. Honeywell’s cloud workloads run on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. No public evidence identified of Honeywell participating in Project Nimbus or any Israeli government sovereign cloud programme. Project Nimbus was awarded to Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services as primes. No public evidence identified of Honeywell marketing data sovereignty or resilience services specifically to Israeli state institutions.
Honeywell maintains extensive defense technology relationships with Israeli state entities and defense manufacturers. Honeywell and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed a teaming agreement in June 2018 to integrate IAI’s ADA anti-jamming system into Honeywell’s Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) navigation system 1. Honeywell and IAI conducted a BIRD Foundation-funded joint project (2016–2018) for UAV sense-and-avoid systems for the IAI Heron UAV, with flight testing in Israeli airspace 8. Honeywell purchases commercial products from Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer 4. Israeli Ministry of Defence awarded Honeywell a $735 million contract in 2012 to supply F124-GA-200 turbofan engines for Israeli Air Force M-346 “Lavi” trainer jets 4. Honeywell provides critical components for Israeli F-35I Adir fleet including PTMS (Power and Thermal Management System), APU, and avionics 411. Honeywell UK business received three export licenses to export aircraft components to Israel between 2022–2023 5. Between 2008 and 2020, Honeywell applied for 30 export licenses through UK subsidiaries to sell “military goods” to Israel; all were approved 4.
Dual-use technology provision represents a significant dimension of Honeywell’s Israeli defense relationships. The Honeywell HG1930 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) component was found intact following the June 6, 2024 Israeli airstrike on the UN-run al-Sardi school in central Gaza 6. The component was manufactured in 2022. Honeywell Secure Connect (derived from Nextnine acquisition) is marketed to critical infrastructure operators globally. No public evidence confirmed deployment to Israeli military installations or intelligence facilities specifically. No public evidence identified of Honeywell developing, selling, or licensing offensive cyber capabilities, zero-day exploit tools, or autonomous weapons systems. Al Jazeera reporting has identified Honeywell among US and Israeli military companies profiting from the Iran conflict 12.
Honeywell’s Forge platform is its primary industrial AI/ML offering, built on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud partnerships. No public evidence identified of Forge being contracted to Israeli state bodies, military, or intelligence agencies. No public evidence identified of Honeywell AI platforms being trained on or provided access to civilian population data, intercepted communications, or surveillance-derived datasets from Israel or occupied territories. No public evidence identified of Honeywell providing autonomous target generation or automated threat detection systems to Israeli military forces.
Honeywell maintains direct technology ecosystem footprint in Israel through acquisitions and operational presence. Honeywell maintains a Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Tel Aviv, expanded following the SCADA fence acquisition in 2023 3. LinkedIn profiles confirm senior Honeywell staff (General Manager Global MSS) based in Petah Tikva, Israel 9. The operational status of a dedicated “Honeywell Innovation Center” in Israel (reported 2018) was not confirmed in post-2022 disclosures.
Acquisitions of Israeli-origin technology firms represent a key pillar of Honeywell’s Israel footprint. Nextnine Ltd. (2017): Israeli industrial cybersecurity provider, based in Petah Tikva 2. SCADA fence (2023): Israeli OT/IoT cybersecurity firm, based in Tel Aviv/Ramat Gan 39. No other acquisitions of Israeli-origin technology companies identified in corporate filings through 2023. No public evidence identified of significant patent co-development or licensing agreements between Honeywell and Israeli research institutions (Technion, Hebrew University, Weizmann Institute) in available patent search summaries.
Honeywell faces ongoing civil society scrutiny regarding its Israeli defense connections. Honeywell is listed on the AFSC (American Friends Service Committee) BDS divestment shortlist under “Gaza Genocide” and “Weapons and Military Equipment” categories 4. Who Profits (whoprofits.org) maintains a corporate profile on Honeywell, historically covering building automation and HVAC systems supplied to Israeli settlement infrastructure 10. UK Campaign Against Arms Trade documents Honeywell export licenses to Israel 45. Honeywell identified as one of 41 companies with Israeli connections in University of Minnesota Endowment disclosures (May 2024), holding approximately $5 million 13. AXA French insurance company holds $150.43 million in Honeywell shares/bonds among 11 weapons companies arming Israel 14. Honeywell did not respond to urgent call by UN experts in July 2024 to cease transfer of arms to Israel 7. No specific regulatory inquiries, export control enforcement actions, or sanctions investigations specifically involving Honeywell’s digital technology sales to Israeli state entities were identified. Honeywell UK received export licenses for military components to Israel between 2022–2023 5.
No public evidence identified.
