Cyber Detection
Ensure business continuity in the digital age
Winner of the 2021 SMART4SEA Cyber Security Award, Marlink’s Cyber Detection service scans your network traffic for any sophisticated, targeted threats that may be putting the confidentiality and continuity of your business operations at risk.
All outbound and inbound network traffic is monitored around the clock, while customers can view threats affecting their vessels through the intuitive, web-based Cyber Dashboard.
In parallel, Marlink’s Security Operations Centre (SOC) works for you to hunt for sophisticated targeted threats which often pass “under the radar” of automated, traditional security solutions.
COMING SOON: Managed Security Service Provider
To support customers who do not have resources or competencies within your teams to deal with detected cyber security threats, we are developing a new service: Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). Contact us to find out more.

Your benefits
-
Ensure business continuity
Marlink’s Cyber Detection service 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 - Marlink’s security solutions portfolio with additional, optional assistance by one of our Cyber Security Consultants.
-
Quick and simple reaction to detected cyber threats
Cyber 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 Cyber Detection service monitors all outbound and inbound network traffic 24/7, giving you full visibility on possible threats through the intuitive, web-based Cyber Detection 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 counter-measures to resolve the threat.
-
Benefit from a dedicated expertise
Marlink 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 IMO2021 requirements
Cyber 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.
