We offer robust cyber security solutions to protect your corporate information technology environment (IT) and your industrial infrastructure (OT) from cyber threats. Our solutions are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data, ensuring secure and continuous operation.
Safeguard your remote assets against escalating cyber threats
The impact of cybercrime is increasing, with the average cost of a data breach reaching $4.45 million in 2023 – a figure set to rise as threats grow more sophisticated.
As the maritime, energy, humanitarian & aids, enterprise, and government sectors accelerate digital transformation, the attack surface for cybercriminals is widening. For companies, association or institutions operating in remote locations, protecting IT and OT critical infrastructures from cyber risks has never been more vital. Preventing malicious entities from exploiting vulnerabilities in your IT and OT systems is essential to maintain operational security.
Our secure remote access platform enables secure, and encrypted connectivity to corporate and industrial systems from anywhere in the world, minimising the risk of data breaches and ensuring business continuity.
Secure and compliant IT and OT infrastructure
with advanced cyber security
Stay ahead of evolving cyber threats with robust protection
The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving, making it increasingly challenging to safeguard critical systems in IT and OT environments. From Ransomware-As-A-Service to AI-driven deepfake scams, cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and cunninger, making breaches harder to detect and mitigate.
At the same time, regulatory pressures are intensifying, e.g., IACS UR E26, USCG or IMO MSC-FAL.1, with new data privacy laws and new cyber security requirements for IT and OT emerging worldwide. In the EU, the revised Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2) mandates stricter cyber security measures, with companies facing substantial penalties for non-compliance.
Organisations must now confront the dual challenge of protecting their data from ever-advancing cyber threats while ensuring complete compliance with evolving regulations to avoid costly fines and risks to their reputation.
NIST 2.0
full cyber resilience
Marlink Cyber understands the distinct cyber security challenges faced by both corporate IT and industrial OT environments. By adhering to the NIST 2.0 Cyber Security Framework, globally recognized standard for managing and mitigating cyber risks, we ensure robust protection across all your digital and operating systems. Collaborating closely with our partners, we deliver cutting-edge, secure, and compliant cyber defense solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of your business’s IT and OT landscape. With a dedicated team 150 cybersecurity experts who are well-versed in the specific demands of your industry, we provide continuous, 24/7 protection to safeguard your data, IT infrastructure, and OT systems against evolving threats.
Identify
More than 80% of cyber-attacks target unprotected assets outside traditional security perimeters—which poses a significant risk for companies operating in remote locations that rely on reliable connectivity.
With Marlink Cyber’s Asset Inventory, you gain a real-time, comprehensive view of your threat landscape, allowing you to identify potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. As digital transformation accelerates, expanding your attack surface, continuous monitoring is essential. By proactively managing risks, you can minimise security breaches and maintain compliance, thereby ensuring the protection of your business.
Cyber criminals are constantly searching for the weakest link in your security defences, with 60% of successful breaches resulting from unaddressed vulnerabilities. Without full visibility of your digital footprint or a clear understanding of where your systems are most at risk, you may be leaving critical attack vectors exposed.
By carefully examining your security architecture, you can detect and prioritise vulnerabilities in your IT and OT defences, thereby reducing your overall attack surface and strengthening the protection for your systems and data. A compliance and gap assessment further ensures that security control deficiencies are identified, helping you stay aligned with evolving industry data and security standards.
Understanding how your IT and OT systems would withstand a real-world attack is key to identifying your most vulnerable points. Conducting penetration testing allows you to simulate a live cyber-attack, revealing organisational weaknesses and areas where your data may be exposed.
By leveraging a range of security tests—including penetration testing, red teaming, and purple teaming— you can strengthen your cyber resilience, ensuring your organisation is better prepared against real-world threats. Security testing also helps maintain compliance with evolving data and privacy regulations, which is crucial given that the cost of non-compliance can be more than double that of compliance.
Cyber threats are relentless; criminals do not simply disconnect because it’s after office hours. This means continuous monitoring of your IT and OT environments is essential to detect risks and act before an attack occurs.
Our cyber security platform provides real-time visibility into the threat landscape, keeping you informed and alerted to emerging risks. This proactive approach ensures you stay ahead of potential breaches. Organisations that can detect threats within 24 hours are 40% less likely to experience a major security incident.
Protect
Nearly three-quarters of cyber breaches come from compromised credentials—just like a burglar entering your house with a set of stolen keys. By restricting individual user access by limiting security permissions to only essential personnel, you can significantly reduce the risk that cyber criminals may inflict substantial damage if they succeed in gaining access. This means even if a hacker manages to compromise the credentials of a junior employee, they would be blocked from critical systems.
Our Privileged Access Management service continuously monitors user sessions, helping to detect any unusual activity and instantly blocking any unauthorised use, ensuring access to corporate (IT) and industrial (OT) systems and data is always properly safeguarded.
If your business operates in remote locations, your employees need to access corporate (IT) and industrial (OT) systems securely, regardless of the device they are using. By encrypting your remote connections, you can prevent data breaches and ensure compliance with industry standards such as IACS UR E26, IMO 2021, ISA/IEC 62443, NIST CSF, ISO 27001, NIS2 and GDPR. Securing remote access also provides the flexibility to scale with your business, allowing new employees to seamlessly connect to your systems.
Our Secure Remote Access also accommodates third-party vendors and others who may require remote access to your IT and OT systems without compromising your security.
The constant evolution of cyber risk means that companies often find themselves with multiple cyber security tools performing different tasks in isolation, making it difficult to obtain a holistic overview of the threat landscape. With Marlink Cyber’s Unified Threat Management platform—which is available as either fully-/co- or self-managed—you can integrate all your IT and OT cyber protections into a single platform, or in a multiple ones depending of your network architecture, helping you to monitor and securely protect your IT and OT infrastructure seamlessly against all potential attack types.
This offers enhanced and scalable protections for your critical business and industrial systems, while also ensuring uninterrupted network performance, thereby facilitating the management of your cyber security defenses.
Not all organisations face the same cyber risks. Energy companies, for example, could be targeted by rogue nation states that want to disrupt a country’s power infrastructure. By contrast, the yachting industry could be more at risk from ransomware attacks that target wealthy individuals. Marlink’s Industry Specific Threat Feed provides actionable intelligence that is tailored to your industry. By aggregating data from across the market globally, we can spot potential issues as they emerge, helping proactively safeguard your systems from impending attacks.
With real-time monitoring, you can instantly block threats, improving your security posture and reducing the risk of any breaches.
With 90% of cyber-attacks starting with a phishing email, your employees are always your first line of defence against cyber-crime. To assist you in this area, our phishing awareness programme trains your staff to identify potential phishing attacks, helping to establish a human firewall to prevent hackers from accessing critical corporate IT and operational systems.
By raising awareness, you can reduce the risk of staff being exploited by hackers, thereby improving your cyber resilience and compliance. For example, 85% of employees were more likely to recognise a phishing email after completing our programme, compared to 40% before the training.
Regulatory sanctions for data breaches can be severe, no matter how the data is lost—whether through an external hacking, a malicious internal actor or an accidental leak. The EU, for instance, has imposed nearly €6billions euros in fines to companies for data breaches since GDPR came into effect.
The consequences are not only financial, they can also seriously harm a company’s reputation. Therefore, it is essential to secure your IT and OT data for the sustainability of your business. By using our Marlink Cyber’s data loss prevention tools, which are key components of Marlink Cyber’s UTM strategy, you can protect customer data or other confidential information such as an intellectual property or other confidential information, while also ensuring regulatory compliance.
Detect
The faster you can detect and respond to threats, the less risk you have of experiencing a major cyber security breach. Our Unified IT/OT Security Operations Center provides 24/7 cyber protection for your business, ensuring always-on monitoring across your IT and OT infrastructure, alerting you to potential threats and providing you real-time updates on security incidents.
This can help speed up detection and response times, helping in containing attacks before they escalate. Our managed remediation ensures your IT and OT systems can recover quickly, limiting any disruption, while detection rules can be adjusted- to meet the changing needs of your business. Data-driven insights can also help strengthen your security overtime, maximising your protection.
Traditional firewalls and anti-virus software are effective at keeping known threats contained. For everything else—emerging threats or those that are already inside your networks, IT or OT —you need another line of defence. Our Marlink Cyber’s Network Detection & Response solution helps you identify the threats that may have slipped past your IT or OT systems, flagging any suspicious activity or unknown devices connected to your network, helping you prevent potential attacks before they can cause any damage.
By continuously monitoring your both IT and OT networks, you can get real-time visibility into what is connected to your systems. This can help you detect threats faster and improve incident response times, providing comprehensive protection for your entire IT and OT infrastructure.
More than 90% of cyber-attacks are targeted at endpoint systems, with hackers looking for vulnerabilities in your servers or employees’ laptops/desktopto steal data or install malware. This is a significant risk for companies operating in remote locations where employees may be using their own devices to access companies’ (IT) systems.
By using our Endpoint Detection & Response tools, you can benefit from real-time AI-driven attack monitoring across all endpoints, protecting against operating-tech threats through instant alerts and automated incident response. This can help neutralise any attacks before they have chance to take root. The tools also work in low-bandwidth environments, protecting endpoints in remote locations where connectivity may be less reliable.
If your cyber security platform is not triggering any risk alerts, that doesn’t mean your systems are safe — it could just mean you need to look harder for hidden threats. Ours threat hunting tool can help you proactively search for and uncover advanced threats that would otherwise remain concealed. Whether it is insider threats, undetected breaches or unknown gaps in your cyber defences, our threat hunting intelligence can help analyse your systems and find hidden risks that have evaded traditional defences.
This approach helps reduce the amount of time attackers can go unnoticed in your network and improve your cyber resilience by addressing security gaps before they can be exploited.
Today, endpoints remain the primary entry point for cyberattacks in industrial (OT) environments. Industry studies consistently show that over 68% (source Ponemon Institute) of successful breaches originate from compromised endpoints, including workstations, engineering laptops, and legacy control devices. In OT networks, the challenge is even greater: many assets run outdated software, lack visibility, and are often overlooked in traditional IT security programmes
Implementing a robust endpoint detection strategy is no longer optional. By using our Endpoint Security for OT tools, you can benefit of the latest cutting-edge tools and technologies to detect and defend endpoints compromised by malware, rogue application, suspicious user activity or unauthorized USB drives.
By combining Endpoint Protection for OT, proactive monitoring, and advanced risk management, the Endpoint Security service offers total peace of mind to its clients, always keeping your operational environment secure
Tricking would-be hackers with decoy systems can help trap cyber criminals before they can cause damage to your business. Our deception honeypot solution, for IT or OT environments, gives you the time and intelligence needed to respond to any cyber-attacks, alerting you of their presence much like a silent alarm that notifies the police of an intruder. This helps you gain valuable insights about attackers and what they are doing, aiding you in responding more effectively and keeping your -critical IT and OT systems secure.
This approach adds an additional layer to your IT/OT cyber security strategy, helping minimise false alarms and only triggering an alert when there is a genuine threat underway.
The pace of digital transformation means your IT infrastructure is constantly changing, with systems updates or upgrades potentially creating new vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that were previously secure. Therefore, identifying these weaknesses before attackers can exploit them is critical. Our threat exposure monitoring tool provides complete mapping of your attack surface and proactively searches for potential chinks in your defences, giving you real-time alerts and actionable insights to protect your infrastructure.
By continuously monitoring for emerging threats, you can spot potential issues and take swift remedial action before attackers can strike, improving your overall cyber security posture and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Cyber criminals are always seeking to develop new threats to bypass your security defenses. That is why it is essential for organisations to remain vigilant and be ready to address previously unknown cyber risks. With our cyber threat intelligence, you gain access to real-time information and alerts across your organisation’s entire attack surface, allowing you to identify vulnerabilities early and address security gaps before they become problematic.
This advanced intelligence allows you can enhance your threat detection capabilities without having to expand your internal security team, improving your profitability and enabling you to make faster and more informed risk decisions.
