Cybersecurity on ships is a topic of growing importance, especially considering the increasing reliance on digital technologies in maritime operations. Adhering to international regulations and standards plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe operation of ships and port activities. Both commercial and recreational vessels can be targeted by various cyberattacks, such as ransomware, phishing, malware, or attacks on navigation systems—particularly by disrupting or taking control of GPS and AIS systems. Therefore, cybersecurity is a key and highly complex aspect of modern maritime operations.

We will conduct a security audit for you, then design and implement security measures on your vessel for the most common and therefore most vulnerable IT systems.

1. Are you taking over a ship and need to organize the network?

During a single service visit, our team can verify the existing IT network along with all its components, starting from cables, through switches, and up to end devices. Based on this, we will prepare a complete network map for you, including a description of its strengths and weaknesses, as well as suggestions for possible improvements.

2. You know the weak points and complexities of your network.

Did you know that a professional and reliable IT network is simple and segmented? With knowledge about your network, we will prepare a redesign plan in such a way that even in the event of physical damage to part of the network, your ship will remain online! By implementing redundancy, your network will be reliable, and a cable damage or switch failure will not cause a complete disconnection from the outside world.

3. The plan is ready, time for the offer and execution.

We will present the prepared plan along with an offer for implementation. We will choose a convenient date and port. During the visit, our engineers will complete the entire planned infrastructure, properly document and test the network, and you can forget about further problems with your network.

4. Ongoing maintenance.

Your network is running reliably, but it still requires attention. From time to time, we will remind you about a network check-up, but don’t worry, it’s nothing major. We will inspect all connections, clean the equipment of accumulated dust, replace air filters, and if necessary, replace fans or batteries in the backup power supplies.

Video surveillance on ships plays a key role in enhancing overall safety and optimizing maritime operations. The ability to monitor and record events in real-time enables a swift response to threats and incidents, while also supporting management and navigation processes. Video surveillance undoubtedly strengthens cybersecurity by controlling access to critical areas and detecting unauthorized activities, which increases protection against cyberattacks. In case of conflicts, it also serves as clear and undeniable evidence.

1. Prevents incidents

Enables real-time monitoring of key areas on the ship and in the port, allowing for the quick detection and response to undesirable events, such as unauthorized access attempts, accidents, or security threats.

2. Records events

Video surveillance systems record high-quality footage, allowing for the analysis of incidents and determination of their causes. In the case of investigations, surveillance recordings can serve as evidence.

3. Increases crew and vessel safety

Video surveillance allows for the quick detection of emergency situations, such as accidents or falls involving crew members, enabling immediate response and assistance, as well as the implementation of procedures that enhance overall crew safety. It is also an indispensable tool in port, securing access to the vessel and supporting ISPS (International Ship and Port Facility Security).

1. Optimization of operations

Thanks to video surveillance, it is possible to monitor key processes on the ship, such as loading and unloading of goods, which allows for better management and optimization.

2. Crew management

Surveillance systems on ships allow for the assessment of crew efficiency and the identification of potential issues, which can improve productivity and work organization.

3. Navigation support

Video surveillance on ships can assist the crew in navigation and maneuvering, especially in challenging weather conditions or ports with limited maneuverability.

1. Physically secures IT equipment

Surveillance on a ship can be used to monitor access to server rooms and areas where key equipment and IT systems are stored.

2. Monitors unauthorized activities

Surveillance systems can be used to detect suspicious activities related to the network infrastructure, such as attempts to connect unauthorized devices to the ship’s network.

3. Provides data for audit and analysis

Footage from surveillance systems can be used to analyze cybersecurity incidents, allowing the identification of potential weaknesses in physical security and procedures on the ship.
