By implementing Unified Threat Management (UTM) on vessels as an additional cybersecurity layer we can protect IT & OT networks from cyberthreats and act upon potential upcoming incidents. The industry is sailing in the right way by adopting these solutions to keep their vessels safe”, concludes Hart.
