Industry Overview

Cybersecurity for maritime

Maritime operations rely on constant connectivity between vessels, ports, and onshore systems. CloudGuard helps maritime organisations reduce operational risk with continuous oversight and guided response across shipboard and shore-based environments, without disrupting operations.

The Problem

Unprepared for cyberattacks. Misaligned response teams. Hidden vulnerabilities.

Maritime environments combine remote assets, cross-border operations, and complex supply chains. Attackers take advantage of this complexity to disrupt services, access sensitive data, or interfere with essential systems.

Limited visibility across vessels and shore systems

Legacy navigation and control technologies

Limited onboard security expertise

Remote assets with delayed response

Weak separation between operational and corporate networks

High impact of downtime on navigation, cargo and port access

Security outcomes with CloudGuard

Gain visibility across the fleet, not just after an incident

CloudGuard provides a clearer view of activity across shipboard and shore-based systems, so risks can be identified earlier and assessed with context.

Early warning and guided action, not alert overload

Instead of sending raw alerts, we help you understand what is happening, whether it affects operations, and what action to take.

Reduce dependence on crew for cybersecurity decisions

Monitoring and investigation is handled centrally, reducing pressure on onboard teams and allowing shore-based teams to stay in control.

Gain defensible incident records

When incidents occur, you receive clear reporting that supports internal review, leadership updates, and regulatory discussions, helping you demonstrate due care.

Why maritime organisations choose CloudGuard

Maritime organisations choose CloudGuard for clear oversight, dependable monitoring and support that fits complex, distributed environments. We help reduce uncertainty and give teams confidence in how risks are managed.

Proactive protection

24/7 threat monitoring and response

Maritime operations require constant oversight across shipboard, port, and onshore systems, without adding operational friction. With CloudGuard’s Managed eXtended Detection and Response (Managed XDR) service, routine activity is handled automatically, while higher-risk incidents are escalated to analysts with full context.

  • Earlier warning of activity that could disrupt operations
  • Clear insight that supports faster decisions
  • Faster escalation and response when it matters
  • Consistent oversight across vessels, ports, and onshore systems

Powered by automated investigation, a UK-based 24/7 SOC, and unified dashboards across maritime and corporate environments.

Incident Response Planning and Tabletop Exercises

When an incident affects maritime operations, delays and uncertainty increase risk. Teams need to know who does what, what to escalate, and how to keep operations moving.

CloudGuard supports incident response planning and tabletop exercises to help maritime organisations:

  • Clarify roles and escalation processes
  • Improve decision-making under pressure
  • Reduce confusion during high-stakes incidents
  • Strengthen readiness across IT, operations, and leadership

Security posture assessment for maritime environments

Understanding cyber risk across maritime environments is essential for safe and reliable operations, especially when systems span vessels, ports and onshore services.

CloudGuard’s Security Posture Assessment provides a clear view of:

  • How your shipboard and onshore systems are configured today
  • Where exposure exists across operational and business environments
  • What needs to be prioritised to reduce operational risk

You receive practical, prioritised recommendations that help improve resilience without disrupting operations.
