Overview

Cydome, a leader in maritime cybersecurity, offers a cutting-edge solution tailored specifically for the maritime industry’s unique challenges. Their proprietary technology ensures comprehensive protection for vessels, addressing both IT and OT systems with automated cybersecurity checks and real-time monitoring. Unlike other solutions, Cydome provides complete coverage for the entire ship, leaving no vulnerable areas.

With 90% of global trade occurring through maritime routes, the industry is a prime target for cyber attacks, which have increased by a staggering 900% in recent years. Recognizing this, global and regional regulatory bodies have started developing and enforcing stringent cybersecurity measures and regulations, making advanced real-time protection mandatory for vessels. Traditional cybersecurity measures like firewalls and anti-virus software fall short in addressing the specific needs of maritime systems and regulatory compliance, highlighting the necessity for solutions like Cydome.

Moreover, Cydome’s solution simplifies compliance processes and reduces overhead for shipping companies by automating complex cyber tasks. Its zero-touch operation and easy installation make it ideal for vessels operating in remote areas with limited IT expertise.

With over 100 vessels already benefiting from Cydome’s innovation, the SaaS model offers transparent pricing and ease of access. By providing a single platform to manage cyber risks for all assets, including IT, OT, communications, and IoT systems, Cydome streamlines cybersecurity management across fleets, empowering shipowners with actionable insights to safeguard their vessels against evolving threats.

Key Capabilities / Features

Cydome's key features address the needs of maritime cyber-protection while simplifying its operations:


* Full cyber threat detection covering maritime IT, OT, and communications systems in real-time, guiding users on how to mitigate with comprehensive built-for-maritime cyber intelligence.


* Pre-empt cyber threats by managing known and unknown cyber risks before they happen with CONTINUOUS vulnerability discovery and analysis. This capability uses a unique resources library for maritime assets and networks.


* Cydome is not only maritime-certified for maritime cybersecurity, but it also reduces overhead from the IT department by automating much of the complex maritime cyber compliance processes, which are often costly and scarce.


* Cydome is the only maritime cybersecurity solution that manages cyber risks for ALL assets: IT, OT, communications, IoT, etc., in one platform. Now, shipping companies can see all their assets across their fleet, receiving then alerts from only one source, and for critical issues.


* Cydome's advanced AI, trained specifically with maritime data, ensures exceptional accuracy in anomaly detection, reducing false positives and alleviating the burden on resource-limited IT departments. Customers confirmed this in several tests we underwent, and it is of significant value to shipping companies that tend to suffer from a very high rate of false positives, thus helping resource-lean IT departments.


* On-vessel operations are completely automated ("zero-touch"). This is crucial as ships don't have any IT onboard. Installation is also straightforward and can be done within hours either remotely or on board. This is also important because ships dock at ports for very short periods.


* As new maritime regulatory cybersecurity compliance starts being enforced, Cydome's solution automates many of the bureaucratic form-filling needed, thanks to its many automations.


How we are different

We provide several vectors of unique value to our customers:


* Best cyber protection, in real-time: we provide the most comprehensive cyber protection for maritime vessels, addressing the unique maritime environment - from addressing specific assets (including, for example, hybrid environments that utilize legacy and even very old assets that are entirely out of service life) and the particular patterns of maritime systems in real-time (as opposed to regular IT behavior), proactive vulnerability assessment, built for easy deployment in vessels without the need for experts, designed for IT and OT complexity, continuous and robust operation even without satellite coverage, and provides very clear guidance for analyzing vulnerabilities and threats (using generative AI).


* Compliance: maritime compliance is critical as ship owners must be compliant with various maritime cyber security regulations in order for their ships to be sea-worthy. Our product is built for maritime regulations. It's perhaps the only (or one of very few, as we're unaware of others) class-certified maritime cyber solutions (certified by RINA and ClassNK). Also, our product helps our customers decrease compliance overhead by automating various compliance processes - from documentation to cyber posture assessment.


* Automating cyber assessment: after our short deployment, processes that used to take days are automated to create cyber posture reports that include both assets inventory and vulnerabilities reports.
