Seawall Maritime Cyber Security
OSERV has launched ‘Seawall Maritime Cyber Security’, which the company claims is the first integrated risk management solution for the global shipping community.
OSERV, OSM Maritime Group’s specialized concept for supply chain management and value-added services, developed the solution together with cyber security specialist Pragma.
Combining five crucial elements of cyber protection – technical, operational, IT backup, legal and media crisis management, the cyber security solution aims to address the peril of cyber-attacks in today’s climate of the escalating incidents in the maritime industry.
A recent ransomware attack involving the world’s largest container shipping line, incurred an estimated loss of US$300 million – revealing the extent of the challenge for the industry in dealing with a digital crisis.
The package includes:
– SEAWALL Scan – testing ship systems remotely for security weaknesses
– SEAWALL Test – testing ship systems through pen testing (physical/remote) and systems audit
– SEAWALL Fix – fixing and patching as a clean-up and preparation for effective monitoring
– SEAWALL Protect – continuous verification of communication and irregularities via cloud and immediate human intervention
– SEAWALL Consult – risk evaluation and advice for creating awareness and suitable solution
– SEAWALL Train – creating a security culture awareness with subject-focused training
To deliver maximum protection, OSERV has partnered with leading industry experts on risk and cyber threat:
– Pragma – cyber security specialist
– DNV GL – A leading classification society and award-winning training provider for crew and onshore personnel
– HFW – maritime and international trade law firm with shipping as one of its core disciplines
– Navigate Response – the leading international crisis communication consultants to the shipping industry
Geoff Leeming, Partner at Pragma said: “The digital landscape is rapidly evolving in the maritime sector, a business which has traditionally been cautious in adopting technological change, and so are cyber threats. This solution not only helps companies to cope with the complexity of a cyber-attack but also bolsters the continuity of their business.”
