Managed Network Services

Managed Network Services

Over the past decade, the number of connected devices onboard vessels has increased dramatically. Today, a wide variety of equipment—including audiovisual systems, control devices, and IoT sensors for registration, measurement, control, service status, and remote diagnostics—can be integrated into the vessel’s network. Managing and securing these devices has become significantly more complex, and it is a challenge that every vessel owner or operator must address. For IMO-registered vessels, it is a mandatory requirement to maintain a cybersecurity plan, ensuring that each device is accounted for and its vulnerabilities and security status are monitored. In recent years, vessels of all types have increasingly become targets for cyber criminals, who may seek financial gain by stealing exploitable data or attempt sabotage.

Backup Solutions

We provide automatic backup services for your vessel’s devices, supporting both onboard backup servers and off-site (cloud) backup solutions. This ensures that critical data is securely stored and readily available in case of hardware failure or cyber incidents.

License and Software Management

As part of our management package, we offer comprehensive license management for software and devices onboard, including antivirus solutions and platforms such as Microsoft. Our services help ensure compliance and effective operation by keeping software licenses up to date and managing backup solutions efficiently.

IT Security Monitoring and Reporting

Integrated into our cybersecurity and firewall solutions, our management package includes remote monitoring of your network’s status and security level. Automatic alerts are generated whenever suspicious activity is detected, allowing for rapid response to potential threats. We can also configure compliance reporting tools, offer cybersecurity user training, and conduct intrusion testing to further enhance the safety and reliability of your vessel’s IT environment.
