Maritime Cyber Security is the protection of onboard and onshore devices and systems from unpermitted or malicious intrusions. Cyber Security encompasses all possible vectors of access to these systems, including through network connections, on location through console access or through intrinsic weaknesses present in the systems themselves.

Maritime cyber security is important for yachts and ships because they rely heavily on technology for navigation, communication, propulsion, and other critical functions. A cyber-attack on these systems can have serious consequences, such as loss of control of the ship, loss of navigation data, or disruption of communications. This can cause safety issues for passengers and crew, and can also result in environmental hazards and economic losses.

Ships and yachts are also vulnerable to cyber-attacks because they often operate in isolated and remote areas, making them difficult to protect and monitor.

Additionally, many ships and yachts use older technology that may not have been designed with cyber security in mind, making them more vulnerable to attacks.

At WCS we offer a wide range of maritime Cyber Security services which will help you to review, improve and strengthen your Cyber Security. Our services include:

  • Audits: a full review of your Cyber Security setup to identify weaknesses and opportunities using the Maritime Cyber Security Baseline for vessels and for shoreside operations.
  • Testing: applied testing of how robust your system is against threats, including using tactics that real-world hackers use.
  • Training: providing the knowledge and understanding of cyber risks and best practices for your staff and crew.
  • Implementation: supporting the implementation of improvements to your Cyber Security, remotely or onboard.
  • Design: supporting the implementation of improvements to your Cyber Security, remotely or onboard.
Maritime Cyber Security can no longer be avoided
  • CONNECTIVITY: connectivity is like a double-edged sword: it makes your fleet better connected; however, it exposes your valuable assets to new unknown threats
  • IT & OT COMPLEXITY: as smart and advanced your fleet or offshore facility may be and interconnected and complex; as vulnerable and exposed it is
  • NOT GOOD ENOUGH SOLUTIONS: traditional cyber security solutions do not provide full protection against cyber threats; nor do they protect ports from nearby in- danger vessels on their way to dock
  • REAL TIME RESPONSE: hackers can penetrate the IT and core operational systems; access all such systems and assets discreetly and unanimously; IT requires real time response and avoid irreversible solutions
