Smart CyberSecurity
Maritime cyber resilience — protecting vessels, operations, and data from evolving threats.
Smart CyberSecurity is a purpose-built maritime cyber resilience platform addressing the unique cybersecurity challenges of shipboard OT/IT convergence, shore-to-ship connectivity, and the regulatory requirements of IMO Resolution MSC.428(98), the IACS UR E26/E27 unified requirements, and the EU NIS2 Directive. As vessels become increasingly digitized and connected, the attack surface expands from traditional shore-based IT systems to encompass navigation systems, engine control networks, cargo management systems, and communication infrastructure at sea. The platform provides continuous threat monitoring across both IT and OT environments, using maritime-specific threat intelligence to detect and respond to cyber incidents that could compromise vessel safety, operational continuity, or data integrity. Its network segmentation analysis and vulnerability assessment tools evaluate the security posture of shipboard systems against the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and BIMCO/ICS Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships, identifying weaknesses before they can be exploited. Smart CyberSecurity also addresses the governance and compliance dimensions of maritime cybersecurity, providing structured frameworks for developing and maintaining Cyber Risk Management Plans as required by the ISM Code, NIS2 incident reporting workflows with the required 24-hour and 72-hour notification timelines, and crew cybersecurity awareness training programs. Integration with Smart Compliance ensures cybersecurity obligations are tracked alongside other regulatory requirements in a unified compliance management framework.

Key Capabilities
Maritime Threat Intelligence
Curated threat intelligence feeds focused on the maritime sector, covering nation-state actors targeting shipping infrastructure, ransomware campaigns against port and logistics operators, and supply chain attacks through maritime software vendors. Threat alerts are correlated with your fleet's technology profile to provide relevant, actionable warnings rather than generic security bulletins.
OT/IT Network Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of shore-based IT networks and shipboard OT systems including ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, engine automation, and cargo control systems. The platform detects anomalous network traffic, unauthorized access attempts, and malware indicators using behavioral analysis tuned for maritime operational technology environments where traditional signature-based detection is insufficient.
NIS2 Compliance Management
Structured compliance framework for the EU NIS2 Directive, which classifies maritime transport as an essential service sector. The platform manages risk assessments, security policy documentation, incident reporting workflows (24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, one-month final report), and supply chain security requirements as mandated by the directive.
Cyber Risk Assessment & Gap Analysis
Systematic assessment of cyber risks across vessel and shore-based systems, aligned with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and IMO Resolution MSC.428(98). The platform identifies vulnerabilities in network architecture, access controls, patch management, and backup procedures, generating prioritized remediation plans with estimated implementation costs and timelines.
Incident Response & Recovery Planning
Pre-built incident response playbooks for maritime-specific cyber scenarios including GPS spoofing, ECDIS manipulation, ransomware on vessel networks, and shore-based system compromise. The platform manages incident response execution with role-based task assignment, communication templates, and evidence preservation procedures aligned with regulatory reporting requirements.
Crew Cyber Awareness Training
Interactive training modules designed for maritime personnel, covering phishing recognition, USB device policies, safe use of shipboard systems, and social engineering awareness. Training completion tracking integrates with Smart Operation's crew competency management, and periodic simulated phishing exercises measure the effectiveness of awareness programs.
How It Works
Assess Your Cyber Posture
Begin with a comprehensive cyber risk assessment covering shore-based IT infrastructure, vessel OT systems, communication networks, and third-party connections. The assessment identifies vulnerabilities, evaluates existing controls, and benchmarks your organization against maritime cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements.
Implement Monitoring & Controls
Deploy network monitoring agents on shore-based systems and configure vessel-side monitoring through existing satellite communication infrastructure. Establish security policies, access control frameworks, and incident response procedures using the platform's maritime-specific templates and best-practice guidelines.
Detect, Respond & Report
The platform continuously monitors for threats and anomalies, alerting security teams to incidents that require investigation or response. When incidents occur, structured response playbooks guide the team through containment, eradication, and recovery — while automated reporting workflows satisfy NIS2 and other regulatory notification requirements.
Train, Test & Improve
Regular crew training, simulated attack exercises, and periodic reassessments ensure your cybersecurity posture evolves with the threat landscape. The platform tracks improvement metrics over time and generates compliance evidence for ISM Code audits, NIS2 assessments, and vetting inspections.
