Oslo/Paris, September 4th 2018: Marlink is unveiling
Cyber Detection, a unique and intelligent threat
detection solution for the maritime industry at
SMM 2018 this week, as part of its fully integrated
ship and shore-based Cyber Guard portfolio. Cyber
Guard enables Marlink customers to protect, detect
and resolve any cyber-threat through a holistic
combination of network resilience and redundancy, dedicated maritime
cyber-security technology and maritime Security Operation Center (SOC)
experts.
Cyber Detection, the latest addition to the Cyber Guard portfolio,
monitors all outbound and inbound network traffic around the clock
and enables customers to view threats affecting their vessels through
an intuitive, web-based dashboard. In addition, customers may also set-
up notifications on critical threats to be received by email and/or SMS.
Compromised assets may be remedied using Cyber Guard solutions,
with additional, optional assistance from a specialised team at Marlink’s
Security Operations Centre (SOC).
“With the increasing use of broadband communications and the fast
deployment of new digital IT-based applications onboard ships, cyber-
security has become even more critical to fleet and business operations,”
said Ghani Behloul, Chief Marketing Officer, Marlink. “Our multi-layered
Cyber Guard solutions portfolio provides ship operators with a set of tools
to better protect themselves and reduce their risk of exposure to a large
range of cyber-attacks. By adding the innovative new Cyber Detection
service, we enable our customers to even further secure the availability
and integrity of their IT systems and networks.”

and counter-measures while delivering easy to digest insight on the cyber
risk level throughout their fleet.
The combination of machine and human intelligence is integral to
Marlink’s Cyber Detection service and offers a significant improvement
over existing maritime cyber-security systems. While using proven
