The problem

The digital transformation era in the Maritime industry has already started, and it’s here to stay for good.

Maritime companies started lately to invest in digital areas such as business process management, as-a-service models, performance monitoring solutions, automation and of course, the hottest of all is the Cyber Security transformation journey.

In that particular field, we see that things are changing rapidly. Many maritime companies have understood that they need to change the way they approach their Cyber Security strategy. Nowadays the good old-fashioned antivirus is not adequate to protect their vessels. We have seen a turn to more sophisticated solutions like EDR and XDR (network & cloud) clients, with the ability to provide additionally a well needed IT asset management. Furthermore, we see that the SATCOM providers were offering to their customers until recently their “black boxes” with basic security features. The needs have changed though, and everything onboard a vessel should be able not only to protect but also to report and give critical (and raw) data back to the office, to be imported to third party applications (i.e. SIEM) and be able to further analyze them and come to informed decisions.

How does Cyber Onboarding work?

Why Pylones & Palo Alto Cyber Onboarding solution is Unique?

As Pylones, we consult our clients on the least privilege access base until the responsible party becomes cyber aware (and risk management compliant). With the appropriate tools or services we tackle cyber on a multi-layer protection across all vectors of compromise (user ID, Endpoints, Servers, Email, rest of Vessel perimeter, IoT/ OT systems, etc).

In cooperation with Palo Alto Networks those tools are managed almost autonomously under their awarded Cortex Intelligent umbrella. Under a single pane of glass (Panorama) guides responsible parties through a minimum risk approach, executing every operation with visibility (and compliancy) especially for their response plans, that might occur when many parties evolve. Awareness and experience are built dynamically during the process and not on a static manner (seminar) or a pen test for the time executed. Further, you can manage your legacy security infrastructure and scale up threat intelligence with accuracy under a subscription based model avoiding adhoc complexities.
