MARITIME SECURITY

Maritime operations have entered a new era where data is mission-critical to safety, efficiency, compliance, and competitiveness.

Ships are now highly connected platforms, continuously exchanging telemetry with shore for voyage optimization, condition-based maintenance, emissions reporting, and security monitoring.

This transformation creates undeniable value, but it also expands the attack surface and elevates operational risk in environments where a single compromise can endanger life, cargo, vessels, and the marine environment.

CIS CONTROLS COMPLIANCE

Center for Internet Security developed the CIS Controls v8.1 for ICS—a specialized framework designed to help cybersecurity posture using practical, prioritized defensive measures

The CIS Controls for Industrial Control Systems (ICS) is a globally recognized cybersecurity framework developed by the Center for Internet Security. It provides a prioritized set of defensive actions specifically tailored for operational technology (OT) environments, guiding asset owners in securing critical infrastructure like manufacturing plants, power grids, water treatment facilities, and more. The v8.1 ICS edition maps these actions to the unique risks and constraints of ICS, including real-time system requirements, legacy components, and safety-critical operations.

ICS environments face increasingly frequent and sophisticated cyber threats—from ransomware that halts production to state-sponsored attacks targeting energy systems. The CIS Controls v8.1 provides a practical, tested roadmap for resilience, covering everything from asset inventory and configuration management to secure data flow and audit logging.

ConnexOne, our high-assurance, hardware-enforced unidirectional gateway, plays a pivotal role in achieving the goals laid out in the CIS Controls v8.1 ICS guide. While many safeguards rely on policies or software enforcement, ConnexOne offers physically enforced data integrity by ensuring that information flows only one way—from ICS to enterprise, never back. This unidirectional flow is vital in scenarios where confidentiality, system integrity, and availability are non-negotiable.

27001 COMPLIANCE

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration.

ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard for managing information security, aimed at helping organizations protect their information assets such as financial data, intellectual property, and personal information.

It specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS), emphasizing risk management and continual improvement.

Key components of ISO 27001 include a systematic approach to managing sensitive information, identifying and treating risks, and implementing specific security controls. The standard is used across various industries to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, enhance customer trust, and provide a competitive advantage. It also supports operational efficiency, business continuity, and third-party assurance.

Data diodes are critical for ISO 27001 compliance, providing unidirectional data flow to prevent unauthorized access and data exfiltration. By enforcing strict network segmentation, data diodes isolate sensitive information, ensuring robust access control and secure communication channels. This hardware-enforced security mechanism protects against sophisticated cyber threats and ensures the integrity and confidentiality of critical data.
