SOLUTION BRIEF
Cybersecurity &
Compliance Automation
for the Maritime Industry
THE CHALLENGE
Increasing Cyber Threats & Emerging Regulatory Requirements
Increasing digitalization and connectivity in the maritime industry have exposed critical
safety and operational systems to new cyber threats. To address these risks, many
governing bodies like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and United States
Coast Guard (USCG) are creating and enforcing new guidelines that both ports and
vessels must comply with. These factors are creating new challenges for companies in
the maritime industry.

Industrial Defender Use Cases
Maritime Asset Management
Knowing what devices you have in your system is the first step to securing
it. Industrial Defender provides a single view into all your operational
assets. The Endpoint Risk Analytics Suite also provides a detailed risk
score and visualizations for each device with the ability to drill down into
individual asset health.
Cyber Threat Detection
Our anomaly detection engine delivers an unprecedented level of visibility
and actionable security data to provide the foundation for a sustainable
security program. By collecting, normalizing, and analyzing the vast
amount of information provided by your maritime systems in one place,
you can easily keep track of the security events that really matter.

Solution Brief
Configuration Management
Automatically collects, normalizes, and reports changes affecting your
maritime systems, regardless of vendor or location. You can easily create
asset baseline configurations that our change detection engine compares
with actual configuration data including ports and services, users,
software, and patches and firewall rules.
Vulnerability Monitoring
Our vulnerability monitoring combines the power of asset management
with the accuracy and completeness of NIST’s vulnerability database. This
feature reports a current list of the potential Common Vulnerabilities and
Exposures (CVEs) associated with your device inventory and provides
information on patches available for these vulnerabilities.
Policy Management
Provides you with an easy way to create, deploy, and audit compliance
with built-in policies for your control systems environment. As a vendoragnostic solution, policies can be written and applied to multiple assets,
saving time and effort.
Compliance Reporting
With a suite of built-in standard reporting packages, including reports
for the NIST CSF, Industrial Defender eliminates the manual task of
data collection and report generation. The reporting application lets you
configure report subscriptions for non-privileged users and send them via
email, server share, and SharePoint, to ensure the delivery of real-time
information to those who need it the most.
Workflow Automation
This optional application suite integrates document management and
reporting as part of a structured workflow. You can improve operational
efficiency by initiating, tracking, approving, documenting, and reporting
on changes made to control systems assets automatically and store
all documents related to a change, like emails, test approvals, and
configuration files, in one place.
