Overview

Cydome is founded by a team of maritime and cybersecurity professionals who have joined forces to address the unique challenges of maritime cybersecurity. They have developed a unique and innovative approach to testing and checking for breach detection for the highly specialised and complex maritime environment.
Because of the constantly remote and mobile nature of IT, OT and communication systems on a vessel at sea, the cyber solutions for effective cybersecurity have an extraordinary set of challenges. Cydomes’s bespoke, built-in solution offers a truly no-compromise approach to cybersecurity and, unlike other operators which can only secure parts of a vessel, Cydome is the only solution that provides protection for the whole ship – both IT and OT systems. This eliminates the shortcomings of traditional off-the-shelf products designed for land-based environments and protects vessels during their voyage.
Cydome’s customised solution offers a truly no-compromise approach to cybersecurity. This is based heavily on Cydome’s real-time monitoring and continuous vulnerability scanning carried out through attack simulation. The solution conducts continuous attack simulations and provides full report in real-time to the client with all such vulnerabilities and assessment results. All vulnerabilities are reported together with the mitigation recommendation. Additionally, with unauthorised/3rd parties access detection, the company can demonstrate the frequency of access to internal networks and monitor this.

How we are different

Ship-wide Coverage - This is particularly important, as coverage of part of a vessel or its systems will not fully protect the ship if the attacker can penetrate from another vector. Unlike other operators who can only secure parts of a vessel, Cydome provides cyber security coverage of the whole ship - none of the solutions provided today by the communications and satellite providers can offer such full-spectrum coverage. Cydome is an innovator in cybersecurity for maritime and uniquely conducts breach and attack simulation to the vessel from all such attack verctors (IT, OT and IoT) and specialises in supply chain/logistic attacks in the maritime industry. The coverage also includes protection from 3rd party vendors’ access to the ship. Dozens of vessels and a couple of hundred devices are currently being monitored onboard.


Cydome invests a large amount of its profits into research and development to ensure its solutions are always up to date and preventing attacks with the specific maritime requirements, being the only cybersecurity real-time solution onboard ships to gain certification by the Maritime Classification Society RINA as RINA Certified Cybersecurity Solution. Cydome also partnered with Constanta maritime university, to solidify their commitment and to act as a joint hub for all maritime participants to contribute to the cyberthreats database, including unique cyber threats at the maritime ecosystem.


Compliance with regulations – The solution is designed to assist ship owners and operators to effectively validate ongoing compliance with international maritime regulations. The solution provides fleets with cost-effective, automated inspection and analysis tools to conduct cybersecurity gap analysis under the appropriate maritime regulations. Cydome is the first international Certification Body for the “Maritime Cyber Baseline”, a scheme developed by the IASME Consortium together with the Royal Institute of Naval Architects, verifying ship compliance.
