Cyber Incident Response for Vessels

What is Cyber Incident Response for Vessels?

Cyber Incident Response for Vessels provides immediate expert support when a vessel experiences a cybersecurity incident such as ransomware infection, unauthorised access to navigation systems, GPS spoofing, or OT system compromise. Maritime incidents require specialised response capabilities due to connectivity limitations at sea, safety-critical OT systems, regulatory reporting obligations to flag states and the National Response Center (under the new USCG rules effective July 2025), and the need to maintain vessel operability throughout the response. Codesecure Solutions provides a 24/7 incident hotline, remote response via satellite link, forensic investigation, evidence preservation, regulatory notification support, and post-incident hardening recommendations.

We are available 24/7 to help secure your maritime operations.
