Smart CyberSecurity
IT/OT security for the maritime landscape — implementation and monitoring on top of the stack you already run.
Smart CyberSecurity is the maritime IT/OT security implementation and monitoring layer — purpose-built for the unique challenges of shipboard OT/IT convergence, shore-to-ship operations, and the regulatory requirements of IMO Resolution MSC.428(98), the IACS UR E26/E27 unified requirements, and the EU NIS2 Directive. As vessels digitize, the attack surface expands from shore-based IT to navigation systems, engine control, cargo management, and communication systems at sea — and Smart CyberSecurity gives operators one unified view across all of it. Critically, Smart CyberSecurity is an integration story, not a replacement one. It implements and monitors on top of the third-party security stacks organizations already run — Fortinet, Microsoft, IBM, and similar — orchestrating their signals into a single maritime-aware security picture rather than asking anyone to rip and replace. Security analytics correlate events across shore IT, vessel OT, and the vendor stack, using maritime-specific threat intelligence to separate the incidents that matter from the noise. Continuous monitoring and response workflows carry each incident from detection through containment, eradication, and recovery, with pre-built playbooks for maritime-specific scenarios — GPS spoofing, ECDIS manipulation, ransomware on vessel systems — and NIS2 reporting timelines (24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, one-month final report) built into the process. Governance is covered too: Cyber Risk Management Plans as required by the ISM Code, structured risk assessments, and crew cyber awareness training delivered through Smart Training.

Key Capabilities
Unified IT + OT Visibility & Threat Detection
One security picture spanning shore-based IT and shipboard OT — ECDIS, AIS, GMDSS, engine automation, and cargo control systems. Behavioral analysis tuned for maritime operational technology detects anomalous traffic, unauthorized access, and malware indicators where traditional signature-based detection falls short.
Security Analytics
Analytics that correlate events across the fleet's entire security estate — vendor stack alerts, vessel telemetry, and shore IT logs — enriched with maritime-specific threat intelligence covering actors targeting shipping, ports, and maritime software supply chains. The result: fewer, better alerts with fleet-level context attached.
Built on Your Existing Security Stack
An implementation and monitoring layer on top of Fortinet, Microsoft, IBM, and similar third-party stacks — not a replacement for them. Smart CyberSecurity orchestrates the tools you already own into a maritime-aware whole, closing the gap between enterprise security products and the realities of vessels at sea.
Continuous Monitoring & Response Workflows
24/7 monitoring feeding structured response workflows: detection, triage, containment, eradication, and recovery, with role-based task assignment and evidence preservation. Pre-built playbooks cover maritime-specific scenarios including GPS spoofing, ECDIS manipulation, and ransomware on vessel networks.
NIS2 & IMO Compliance Management
Structured compliance for the EU NIS2 Directive and IMO Resolution MSC.428(98): risk assessments, security policy documentation, Cyber Risk Management Plans for the ISM Code, and incident reporting workflows with the mandated 24-hour, 72-hour, and one-month timelines built in — tracked alongside the fleet's other obligations in Smart Compliance.
Crew Cyber Awareness Training
Interactive training for maritime personnel — phishing recognition, USB device policies, safe use of shipboard systems, and social engineering awareness — delivered and tracked through Smart Training, with periodic simulated phishing exercises measuring whether the awareness program actually works.
How It Works
Assess Your Cyber Posture
A comprehensive risk assessment covers shore IT, vessel OT, communication paths, and third-party connections — benchmarking your organization against maritime cybersecurity standards and identifying where the existing security stack leaves gaps.
Integrate the Stack
Smart CyberSecurity connects to your existing Fortinet, Microsoft, IBM, and similar tooling, deploying vessel-side monitoring through existing communication infrastructure. Policies, access frameworks, and response procedures are established from maritime-specific templates.
Detect, Respond & Report
Correlated monitoring surfaces the incidents that matter; structured playbooks guide response through containment and recovery while automated workflows satisfy NIS2 and flag-state notification requirements on the mandated timelines.
Train, Test & Improve
Crew training, simulated exercises, and periodic reassessment keep the security posture evolving with the threat landscape — with compliance evidence generated for ISM audits, NIS2 assessments, and vetting inspections.
