About
Nozomi Networks Maritime is an industrial cybersecurity platform designed for the unique challenges of the maritime industry, which transports 90% of the world's trade. As shipping and port operations become increasingly digitalized and interconnected, they face growing exposure to threats targeting legacy OT systems, unmanaged IoT devices, and complex global supply chains. The platform automates asset discovery and inventory across all connected systems—from satellite navigation and cargo handling equipment to crane controllers and container tracking systems. AI-powered continuous monitoring detects anomalies and threats in real time, while guided remediation playbooks help security teams respond quickly and effectively. Vulnerability management and risk prioritization tools allow operators to focus on the highest-impact exposures first. The platform accelerates compliance with maritime cybersecurity regulations including IMO guidelines, NIS2, and insurance mandates by automating evidence collection and reporting. Scalable cloud (Vantage) and on-premises deployment options, combined with a broad integration ecosystem including Mandiant threat intelligence, make it suitable for large shipping fleets and distributed port operations alike. Trusted by shipping companies, port authorities, and terminal operators worldwide, Nozomi Networks Maritime strengthens cyber and operational resilience across the entire maritime supply chain.
