Cydome, a cybersecurity company with purpose-built solutions for maritime, remote facilities, and critical infrastructure, announced on Tuesday its strategic collaboration with MarineNet Co., a marine IT solutions and services provider. This partnership will see, among others, Cydome’s ClassNK-endorsed cybersecurity solutions integrated into MarineNet’s renowned MN-Station for a more holistic IT and security management for the Japanese market.
In an era where the maritime industry faces unprecedented cyber threats, this collaboration between Cydome and MarineNet represents a shared commitment to safeguarding Japanese shipping operations and remote facilities against cyber attacks.
Cydome offers cyber protection and risk management for maritime and critical infrastructure operations. Its ClassNK-endorsed, RINA and ISO-certified, and award-winning products secure and simplify maritime cyber operations. With Cydome, maritime and other critical infrastructure companies improve their cybersecurity posture with holistic protection for IT, OT, and communications assets in real-time, benefit from proactive, automated vulnerability scanning, simplify their cyber risk management with centralized fleet-wide control, and accelerate their maritime cyber compliance processes, without the hassle of complex implementations and with ‘zero-touch’ operation on board.
Cydome’s unique, proprietary technology uses AI algorithms specifically trained for secluded infrastructure use cases, following standard cybersecurity frameworks such as NIST to proactively identify, protect, detect, and respond to known and unknown cyber threats, regardless of device type, communications service, or vessel type.
Cydome’s specialized cybersecurity solutions, renowned for their technology and unique fit for the specific needs of securing IT and OT in remote facilities such as maritime vessels, offshore rigs, and other secluded locations, will now be accessible to a broader range of customers in Japan through MarineNet’s extensive distribution network.
“We are thrilled to partner with MarineNet, a pioneer in maritime IT services in Japan. This strategic collaboration marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide companies with the best fortification against evolving cyber threats. Through this partnership, we ensure MarineNet customers are equipped with the highest levels of cybersecurity protection and compliance,” said Nir Ayalon, CEO of Cydome.
Marine Net will leverage its strengths and expertise cultivated through customer-oriented services in the maritime industry to incorporate cutting-edge security technologies, thereby offering more advanced responses and countermeasures as customer-oriented services.
Earlier this month, Cydome announced that it has joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, which supports AI ventures driving industry transformation. The collaboration with NVIDIA will help keep Cydome’s customers protected even from the latest AI threats and enable safe adoption of new AI use cases, as the industry becomes more digital and advanced.
