Your benefits
-
Ensure business continuity
CyberGuard Threat Detection can uncover a multitude of issues including malicious applications, abusive usage, intrusion attempts, confirmed intrusions, social engineering, etc. Compromised assets may be remedied using CyberGuard – our security solutions portfolio with additional, optional assistance by one of our Cyber Security Consultants.
-
Quick and simple reaction to detected cyber threats
CyberGuard Threat Detection works best in combination with XChange. Following the detection of a cyber threat in your network, containment countermeasures may be taken directly in the Cyber Detection Portal to stop it from spreading further (e.g. quarantine the infected machine(s) or blacklist the web domain).
-
Detect threat and intrusion faster
The CyberGuard Threat Detection service monitors all outbound and inbound network traffic 24/7, giving you full visibility on possible threats through the intuitive, web-based CyberGuard Dashboard or via user configured notifications. Notifications on critical threats may be configured to be received by email and/or SMS. Each alert clearly states the affected vessel, scope and recommended countermeasures to resolve the threat.
-
Benefit from dedicated expertise
Our Security Operations Centre (SOC) is operated by highly skilled cyber security experts, possessing a deep knowledge of how attackers focused specifically on the maritime industry operate and impact shipping companies. Following newly discovered Indicators of Compromise (IoC), the SOC operators will retroactively hunt for these in the previous days’ communication logs.
No files are lost until manually deleted and the archive feature allows you to build and store a history of transmitted files.
-
Meet IMO requirements
CyberGuard Threat Detection can help you achieve compliance with IMO 2021 cyber security regulations, as it can provide the “Detection” functional element required by the resolution, now in force.
-
Outsource to reduce the burden on your own team
If your own IT and security resources are limited, we can support you as a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). So, you can have the peace of mind that any detected cyber threats are dealt with, without relying on competencies within your team.
