Cydome Protect Maritime Cybersecurity Platform

Cydome is a maritime cybersecurity company headquartered in London, UK, set up by a group of cyber and marine experts, with offices in Greece, Japan, Germany, the US and Singapore. It protects IT, OT and communication systems on commercial vessels, yachts, offshore energy facilities and ports.

Cydome Protect installs automatically as a virtual machine, on a dedicated server or on onboard communication appliances such as Inmarsat, Speedcast Sigma and Marpoint, and works regardless of network equipment or satellite provider. It combines continuous IT and OT asset mapping, intrusion detection with deep packet inspection, segmentation and ECDIS isolation monitoring, vulnerability scanning and attack simulation, endpoint protection and embedded compliance workflows. AI trained on maritime data correlates events across layers, and a fleet-wide SIEM gives shore teams a single risk view. Cydome Managed Services add a 24×7 SOC.

• Asset inventory: Continuously maps IT and OT assets and flags unauthorised access or port changes.
• Network security: Detects intrusions with deep packet inspection and monitors ECDIS isolation.
• Vulnerability management: Runs automated scans, attack simulation and central risk scoring.
• Endpoint security: Provides EDR, antivirus, host firewall and remote isolation.
• Embedded compliance: Automates workflows for IACS UR E26, TMSA, NIST and the Maritime Cyber Baseline.
• Fleet-wide SIEM: Gives shore teams a single view of risk across all vessels.

A Vietnamese shipyard can install the platform on newbuilds to support IACS UR E26 class approval. A shipowner can monitor IT and OT networks across its fleet from a shore office with a managed SOC. A port operator can map and protect its operational systems and communications links.

Shipowners get IT, OT, IoT and communications protection in one platform instead of separate tools per device. Zero-touch operation means crews do not have to maintain the system and updates do not disrupt operations. Risk is assessed automatically at device, vessel and fleet level. Pre-built automation for IACS UR E26, TMSA and NIST shortens preparation for class and charterer audits.

IACS unified requirements on cyber resilience now apply to newbuild ships, and IMO rules require cyber risk management in safety systems. Attacks on shipping companies and GPS spoofing incidents are rising. Shipyards, shipowners and ports in Vietnam and Southeast Asia that build or operate vessels for international trade need tools that meet these class requirements.

Headquartered at 78 York Street, London, with offices in Greece, Tokyo, Hamburg, Salt Lake City and Singapore. The site states that Cydome Protect is class-certified and that the company is ISO-certified for maritime cybersecurity. Technology partners include Inmarsat, Speedcast, Fortinet, AWS, Check Point, ESET and Microsoft.
