Maritime Systems Aren’t Built for Traditional Security

Increasing oversight and security regulations have made implementing a security solution mandatory, but almost no solutions are designed for a maritime environment. Disconnected networks, a large diversity of endpoints, and systems not designed for cybersecurity make meeting the Coast Guard MTS cybersecurity rule very difficult.

Remote assets

Disconnected systems

Diverse assets & networks

Simple deployment required

Security & visibility for even the most challenging of maritime OT networks

Lightweight

Edge compute architecture makes implementation in multiple plants and lines simple.

  • Small footprint edge device or virtual implementation
  • Easy installation and setup
  • No servers required
  • OT focus and built in detectors simplify tuning and reduce false positives

Edge-Native Processing

The entire platform is self-contained in an edge device. Internet connectivity is not required to secure distributed assets

  • Passive network monitoring
  • Industrial protocol inspection
  • Threat detection and alerting
  • East-West traffic visibility

OT Native Cybersecurity

iolite was built for OT, not IT

  • Industrial protocol monitoring
  • Alerts generated have playbooks instructing how to respond
  • Network traffic used to generate asset lists

Example Deployment Scenarios

Vessel at Sea

Operators and security teams gain shared visibility into both commands and system behavior —without cloud reliance.

Port Operations

Monitor cyber activity in context of crane and fuel system operations.

Dredging / Sensor Platforms

Analyze onboard sensor and control data locally, forwarding critical insights to stakeholders like the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

Compliance and Operational Alignment

The Coast Guard regulations require incident response plans, visibility into OT systems, and change monitoring. This is difficult in ships because of the variety of end points and disconnected networks. The lightweight and disconnected capabilities of the iolite platform make it a natural fit.

Security and Compliance Rolled into One, Easy-to-Deploy Solution.

Industrial organizations should not have to choose between security visibility and operational stability.
