Maritime Cybersecurity for Modern Fleets and Newbuild Projects
From IACS UR E26/E27 Compliance to Long-Term Cyber Resilience

As vessels become increasingly connected, cybersecurity has become a critical component of safe and efficient maritime operations. BOS Marine together with our affiliate, Athena Dynamics Pte Ltd (ADPL) in Singapore helps shipowners, shipyards, and system integrators protect vessel systems, manage cyber risks, and achieve regulatory compliance with confidence.

Cyber threats targeting vessel networks, operational technology (OT), navigation systems, and shore-to-ship connectivity continue to evolve, creating new risks for shipowners, shipyards, and system integrators.

We help maritime stakeholders identify, manage, and mitigate cyber risks through industry-focused cybersecurity solutions that support both regulatory compliance and long-term operational resilience.

Overview of Onboard Network Modification Work:

Phase 1 – Network Asset Discovery

A Network Asset Discovery (onboard network asset survey) must be conducted, and the verification and evaluation report must be submitted to the relevant classification society using the specified form to obtain certification. We conduct this survey remotely using satellite communication lines and report the evaluation (this can be done even on a ship at sea).

* Process Management for Onboard Asset Surveys (Dashboard Example)

Phase 2 – Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT)

Onboard Network Configuration
Our IT staff will remotely access the onboard network to conduct Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) of the ship’s network system.

We will also verify the weaknesses in the ship’s cybersecurity (for OT & IT) and conduct a system evaluation.

◆ Improved Security Levels

＜ Onboard Network System Modification and Installations ＞
For OT network modifications, we propose the following three products:

1．USB Sanitization in Vessel – Advance

This device prevents viruses from being introduced via USB devices when manufacturer technicians install the latest data on OT equipment. (Numerous successful implementations on ocean-going vessels and Singaporean government ministries.)

2. USB Cleaning Kiosk – Basic

Basic detection and threat removal from USB

3．OT Protection via Uni-Direction Data Diode

This prevents the acquisition of confidential information via bidirectional communication (approved by IACS classification society).

Furthermore, the cyber status of operating vessels can be continuously monitored 24/7 from land (Operating Care Center). We promptly provide individual vessel cyber information to the Security Operation Centers (SOCs) of shipowners and ship management companies.
