Cydome to offer cybersecurity to Inmarsat’s maritime customers

NEW DELHI: Cydome, a ship-wide cybersecurity solution provider, Tuesday said it has joined British satellite communication (satcom) company Inmarsat’s group of Certified Application Providers, to offer a dedicated application for Inmarsat’s Fleet Connect services.

As part of the Application Providers group, Cydome will use Fleet Connect to offer its cybersecurity solution to ship owners and managers to enhance cyber resilience and extend vessel cyber coverage for critical IT and operating systems onboard, as per an official statement.

Fleet Connect is a dedicated bandwidth service that provides connectivity independent of the ship owner’s primary bandwidth, allowing Application Providers to have an always-on, or on-demand, two-way communication channel to the vessel.
