Maritime cyber security and IT solutions provider Port-IT has launched an all-in-one fast and secure maritime connectivity solution
This service “combines high-speed internet access with robust cyber-security measures, offering vessel owners and operators a comprehensive and secure connectivity solution, all from one partner”.
After conducting extensive market research and recognising the growing demand for integrated connectivity and cyber security in the maritime industry, Port-IT has developed a LEO connectivity service. This new service provides shipping companies with a single point of contact by integrating the internet connection, the cyber-security solution and IT management needs all in one service.
Port-IT LEO solution offers a range of benefits: high-speed internet access – providing vessels with fast and reliable internet connectivity, enabling smooth communication and data transfer while at sea; tailormade cyber-security measures – integrating advanced cyber-security measures tailored to the unique needs of each customer; complete IT management – implementing, managing and monitoring the vessels’ IT systems and processes, remotely or onsite; seamless integration of services – a singular point of contact for all connectivity, cyber security and IT management needs.
Port-IT chief executive Youri Hart said, “Due to the increasingly faster internet connections, the vulnerability of the network is increasing, and the likelihood of being hit by a cyber attack is continuously growing. Just imagine what the impact would be if a vessel is stuck in one of the locks in the Panama Canal because of a cyber incident. As many vessels still operate with out-of-date IT networks, connecting those networks to high-speed connections increases the risk of a cyber incident.
“Having a single point for all IT needs on board improves efficiency, simplifies operations and streamlines communication”.
