Singapore Telecommunications Limited (Singtel) and Inmarsat have teamed up to strengthen global maritime cyber security.
According to Singtel’s news release, Singtel’s cybersecurity arm, Trustwave, will provide the software-based Unified Threat Management (UTM) service to be integrated with Inmarsat hardware onboard ships, to protect data and lessen cyber risk for maritime firms.
The UTM service offers a suite of cyber security defences like advance firewall, anti-virus, intrusion prevention, and web-filtering backed by global round-the-clock support. It will be delivered through Fleet Xpress, available from a single communications provider.
Singtel and Inmarsat intend to launch the new maritime cyber security service in 2H16.
