Beyond the Breach: Resilience for the Maritime Estate
A holistic, managed approach to cybersecurity, protecting your fleet from shore-based IT to vessel OT, aligned to all five converging regulatory frameworks.
Navigating Maritime Cybersecurity in a New Era of Risk
Cybersecurity is more crucial than ever for maritime organisations. Breaches result in devastating consequences, such as financial loss, legal liability, brand damage and operational shutdown. In maritime, the stakes are higher: five regulatory frameworks are converging, cyberattacks have doubled year-on-year, and the industry’s skills gap has become a strategy gap.
Protecting your fleet is not just compliance. It is a strategic imperative for safeguarding operations, ensuring business continuity, and preserving the right to trade.
At Insight, we understand the need for a comprehensive approach to maritime security.
Insight’s Approach
A Holistic Model for Maritime
Cybersecurity is complicated. It demands an all-hands-on-deck approach from crew, shore teams, and security tools. Our holistic model integrates five technology pillars across four integration domains. Adapted for the operational realities of ship, port, and shore.
The Five Technology Pillars
Endpoint
Vessel workstations, bridge devices, crew mobile devices, shore-based endpoints.
Application
ECDIS, ERP, fleet management systems, cargo software, in-house maritime applications.
Cloud
Fleet analytics, remote monitoring, hybrid ship-to-shore workloads across multi-cloud.
Network, Datacentre & IoT
Vessel networks, VSAT, OT systems, engine sensors, port infrastructure.
Data-Centric
Voyage data, crew records, cargo manifests, commercial IP. The assets that matter most.
The Four Integration Domains
Governance, Risk & Compliance
NIS2, IMO MSC.428, USCG MTSA, IACS E26/E27, TMSA 3 — one programme.
Identity & Access
Zero-trust across crew, contractors, and shore teams. Right people, right access, every vessel.
Threat Detection & Response
24/7 Maritime SOC. AI-augmented detection. Real-time incident response.
Human Factors
Crew and shore staff — from weak link to first line of defence.
We can help you
Improve maritime cybersecurity posture across ship and shore.
Identify and mitigate risks before they become incidents.
Reduce complexity by minimising overlapping security tools.
Optimise your security operations with fewer resources.
Ensure controls add value and improve return on security spend.
Managed Security
24/7 Maritime SOC
Cybersecurity readiness and resilience are paramount to protecting the continuity and success of your fleet. Our Security Operations Centre delivers two managed offerings, purpose-configured for maritime environments:
Combining AI, threat intelligence, and expert maritime analysts to detect and respond in real time.
Managed EDR (MEDR)
Endpoint detection and response across bridge, crew, and shore devices.
Managed XDR (MXDR)
Extended detection across IT, OT, VSAT, and cloud — one unified view of your maritime estate.
