Cybersecurity

In recent years, the maritime and energy industries have been increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their reliance on technology and connectivity. At BlueTide Communications, we understand that cyber risks can hinder you from getting the maximum value from your technology investment.

Cybersecurity Solutions

The consequences of a successful cyberattack can be catastrophic, leading to significant financial and reputational damage, as well as safety risks for crew and the environment. That’s why we offer leading cybersecurity solutions to keep your assets safe.Whether you have one or hundreds of sites, our solutions can push policies fleet-wide or customize policies for specific vessels.

Cybersecurity Risks

Don’t Become a Target!

  • Malware and ransomware attacks: Malware and ransomware attacks can be particularly damaging as they can cause operational disruption and potentially impact the safety of crew and the environment. For example, malware could infect the control systems of an oil rig, causing it to malfunction and leading to a potential disaster.

  • Phishing attacks: Phishing attacks are a common tactic used by cybercriminals to gain access to sensitive information. In the maritime and energy industries, phishing attacks can target employees and contractors, potentially leading to the theft of sensitive information or unauthorized access to critical systems.

  • Unsecured IoT devices: Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasingly being used in the maritime and energy sectors to monitor and control critical infrastructure. However, these devices can be vulnerable to cyberattacks if not properly secured, potentially leading to unauthorized access to networks and systems.

  • Insider threats: Insider threats are another major concern in the maritime and energy industries, as employees and contractors often have access to sensitive information and critical systems. A malicious insider could intentionally cause harm to systems or data, potentially causing significant damage.

As a leader in the maritime industry, we provide three primary cybersecurity services.

Assessment of preparedness for IMO cybersecurity guidelines

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed guidelines for addressing cybersecurity risks in the maritime industry. These guidelines are designed to ensure that cybersecurity risks are managed effectively and that cybersecurity measures are put in place to protect against potential cyber attacks. At BlueTide Communications, we provide an assessment of your preparedness for these guidelines to help ensure that your vessels are secure.

Network vulnerability and gap analysis

A network vulnerability and gap analysis is an important step in identifying potential vulnerabilities in your network. At BlueTide Communications, we conduct a thorough analysis of your network to identify potential vulnerabilities and gaps in your security measures. This analysis helps us to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity plan to protect your network against potential threats.

Network penetration testing

Network penetration testing is an important step in assessing the effectiveness of your cybersecurity measures. At BlueTide Communications, we conduct network penetration testing to identify potential weaknesses in your network that could be exploited by cyber attackers. This testing helps us to identify potential vulnerabilities and gaps in your security measures and develop a comprehensive cybersecurity plan to protect your network.

The BlueTide advantage

In addition to these primary services, our cybersecurity solutions include a live map dashboard that provides location and device information, user details, and mini-server information. Our secure remote access via the switchboard also allows you to access devices on vessels available by role classifications, either via complete remote access or by browser. These features allow for effective monitoring and control of your network and provide real-time alerts in case of any potential threats.
