On January 28, initiatives worldwide raise awareness on data protection and promote best practices to keep both personal and company data safe and secure.

The maritime industry is a high-risk industry. In physical operations, but also in terms of cybersecurity and protection. Modern piracy is no longer limited to physical invasions on vessels; it now also includes hijacking networks, data, and navigational systems.

Geopolitical frictions and increasing cybersecurity regulations highlight the need for solutions tailored to the maritime industry. Secure and reliable tools for hassle-free data transmission to critical navigational equipment are now more important than ever before. Solutions like CTSecure enable vessels to securely receive AVCS and AIO data, updates, permits and routes directly on their ECDIS.

To protect this digital transmission from malicious interference, CTSecure is equipped with an integrated firewall. This reduces risks from data handling processes and helps prevent the leakage of location data, passenger information, cargo information and other sensitive info, supporting a safer, more resilient maritime operation in the digital age.
