INMARSAT MARITIME<br />
Managed service to power cyber resilience at sea<br />
Mobile satellite communications provider<br />
Inmarsat has showcased its new<br />
Fleet Secure service at London International<br />
Shipping Week. Fleet Secure<br />
is the maritime industry’s first and only<br />
fully-managed service to detect vulnerabilities,<br />
respond to threats and protect<br />
ships from widespread cyberattack.<br />
Fleet Secure will be commercially<br />
launched as a standard option on Inmarsat’s<br />
Fleet Xpress service.<br />
Fleet Secure is a Unified Threat Management<br />
(UTM) and monitoring service<br />
that will power cyber resilience at<br />
sea, offering vessel owners and managers<br />
continuous transparency on the<br />
status of their digital security and a<br />
24/7 response to cybercrime. It detects<br />
external attacks via high-speed satellite<br />
broadband connectivity, while also<br />
protecting vessel networks from intrusion<br />
via infected USB sticks and crew<br />
devices connected to the onboard LAN.<br />
According to Inmarsat Fleet Secure will<br />
seamlessly integrate with Fleet Xpress<br />
for no additional outlay on hardware<br />
and no impact on the customer’s contracted<br />
bandwidth.<br />
The UTM is powered by Singtel subsidiary<br />
Trustwave, a provider of information<br />
security solutions, and is available in a<br />
choice of three service levels. Service levels<br />
include a fully-managed Gold standard,<br />
with real-time threat monitoring<br />
and analysis, including immediate notifications<br />
to the customer with high severity<br />
level security threats followed up by<br />
telephone to escalate threat management.<br />
Silver level includes daily review and<br />
threat analysis, and Bronze level enables<br />
users to self-check the vessel’s network<br />
status via an online portal. The UTM<br />
combats viruses and blocks access to unsafe<br />
websites, isolating an infected area of<br />
the network to prevent it from spreading<br />
to other systems onboard.<br />
Inmarsat has also singned an MoU<br />
with Samsung Heavy Industries to leverage<br />
the »smart ship« connectivity offered<br />
by Fleet Xpress at the vessel construction<br />
stage. The MoU envisages the South Korean<br />
yard installing Inmarsat-approved terminal<br />
hardware and offering applications<br />
to cover remote machinery diagnostics<br />
and CCTV services, to leverage the satellite<br />
communications platform’s capabilities<br />
from the moment the ship is delivered.<br />
The new service, which has been christened<br />
»Smart Ship« by SHI, will allow<br />
owners to enhance effciency by harvesting<br />
data from hull-monitors and equipment<br />
sensors onboard in real-time, utilising<br />
Inmarsat’s dedicated bandwidth for<br />
Certified Application Providers (CAPs).<br />
Subject to a definitive agreement, SHI<br />
will retain remote connections to vessels,<br />
while Inmarsat will support SHI’s<br />
services through a dedicated Certified<br />
Application Provider (CAP) subscription.<br />
Through its CAP programme, Inmarsat<br />
aims to support and enable products<br />
that become part of an eco-system<br />
of applications to broaden and enhance<br />
services beyond connectivity and enable<br />
»value-adds« for end-users. Applications<br />
covering real-time analysis of<br />
data for engine monitoring, weather information<br />
and fuel consumption rates<br />
can deliver real gains in operational efficiency,<br />
safety and compliance, IT security<br />
and crew welfare. The CAP programme<br />
is part of Inmarsat’s strategy to<br />
support the global adoption of the Internet<br />
of Things (IoT) in the maritime<br />
market, using the unique Fleet Xpress<br />
service.<br />
In mid-September, Inmarsat selected<br />
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) as<br />
the launch provider for the first satellite<br />
in the Inmarsat-6 fleet (Inmarsat-6 F1).<br />
The satellite, which is under construction<br />
by Airbus Defence and Space, is<br />
scheduled for launch in 2020 using<br />
MHI’s H-IIA launch vehicle. Inmarsat’s<br />
sixth-generation (I-6) fleet will be the<br />
first to feature dual-payload satellites;<br />
each supporting L-band and Ka-band<br />
(Global Xpress) services. The I-6 satellites<br />
represent a step change in the capacity<br />
of Inmarsat’s L-band services and<br />
will support a new generation of L-band<br />
capabilities, from advanced global safety<br />
services and very low cost mobile services,<br />
to Internet of Things (IoT) applications.<br />
