Maritime Cyber Incident Response in Chennai, India

Maritime Cyber Incident Response Services for Vessels in India

Codesecure Solutions provides maritime cyber incident response services in Chennai, India, offering 24/7 emergency support to shipping companies, vessel operators, and port facilities experiencing active cyber incidents. Maritime cyber attacks including ransomware, navigation system intrusions, GPS spoofing, OT compromise, and unauthorized remote access require specialized response capabilities that account for satellite connectivity limitations, safety-critical OT systems, and mandatory regulatory reporting obligations to flag states and port authorities.

Our maritime incident response team provides immediate remote triage and containment via satellite link, forensic investigation to determine the root cause and extent of compromise, evidence preservation for regulatory and insurance purposes, support with mandatory reporting to flag states and under the new USCG rules effective July 2025, and post-incident hardening to prevent recurrence. We maintain a 24/7 incident hotline for immediate activation of response resources regardless of vessel location.
