WALLIX and Telenor strengthen maritime cybersecurity

WALLIX, a European cybersecurity software publisher, and Telenor Maritime, a specialist in maritime communications, announce a strategic partnership. This partnership aims to strengthen the security of remote access in the maritime sector.

This collaboration responds to the growing challenges of cybersecurity in maritime operations. The solutions offered aim to secure remote access for crews and external service providers, particularly in compliance with the new NIS2 regulation of the European Union.

The NIS2 directive imposes strict security requirements for critical infrastructures, including the maritime sector. WALLIX and Telenor Maritime want to offer secure solutions to avoid fines and ensure legal compliance.

The developed solution will provide captains with complete control and visibility over access to on-board systems, reducing the risk of attacks. This partnership also aims to minimize operational disruptions and promote a sustainable maritime industry.

By enabling remote access for equipment maintenance, this collaboration helps reduce the carbon footprint associated with travel, while improving the operational efficiency of vessels.
