Identity Is the Cybersecurity Perimeter in Maritime Operations
Helping Maritime Professionals Make Informed Decisions
The maritime sector is now a front line in cybersecurity conflict. Nation-state actors are targeting vessels, ports, and shipyards, not just to steal data, but to disrupt operations and gain strategic advantage.
As connectivity expands across navigation, propulsion, and cargo systems, cyber risk is no longer an IT problem. It’s a direct threat to maritime safety, continuity, and global trade.
Maritime environments bring together aging technology, harsh conditions, and a global web of third parties, all of which make cybersecurity uniquely difficult.
- Vessels operate for decades with onboard systems never designed for remote access or modern cybersecurity threats.
- Shipyards rely on industrial control systems that often lack basic security controls.
- Ports depend on highly integrated logistics platforms that expose sensitive interfaces to external partners.
