Maritime organisations face unique cybersecurity challenges across vessel networks, port IT systems, and OT environments. SIEM solutions built for maritime help detect threats across ship-to-shore communications, AIS data, cargo management systems, and crew networks.

Maritime cybersecurity requires specialised monitoring that understands the unique data flows and threat landscape of shipping operations. SIEM platforms adapted for maritime environments give security teams visibility across vessel OT systems, port networks, and shore-based IT infrastructure.

Identity and access management

Identity and Access Management

IAM is the foundation of cloud security. Enforce MFA on all accounts, especially root and admin. Implement least privilege access. Users and services should only have permissions they need. Use IAM roles instead of long-lived access keys. Regularly audit permissions and remove unused accounts. Set up centralised identity with SSO where possible.

Data Protection and Network Security

Encrypt data at rest using platform-managed or customer-managed keys (KMS). Enforce TLS for all data in transit. Use private subnets for databases and internal services. Never expose them to the public internet. Implement security groups with deny-by-default rules. Enable VPC flow logs to monitor network traffic. Use secrets management services (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) instead of hardcoding credentials.

Logging monitoring and compliance

Logging, Monitoring, and Compliance

Enable cloud audit logging (CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log) across all regions and accounts. Set up real-time alerting for suspicious activities — failed logins, privilege escalations, resource deletions. Use configuration compliance tools (AWS Config, Azure Policy) to detect drift from security baselines. Map your controls to relevant frameworks — CIS Benchmarks, SOC 2, ISO 27001, RBI guidelines — depending on your industry and regulatory requirements.

Conclusion


Cloud security is not a one-time setup. It requires continuous monitoring and improvement. By implementing these foundational practices early, enterprises can scale confidently while maintaining a strong security posture.
