Cybersecurity Solution : Milestone Achievement for SecuAider

Hanwha Systems has made history as the first Asian company to earn the prestigious ‘E27 TA’ certification from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its ship cybersecurity solution, SecuAider. This recognition confirms that SecuAider meets the stringent cybersecurity standards required for U.S. Navy vessels and commercial ships, highlighting its advanced capabilities in maritime security.

SecuAider, developed by Hanwha Systems, is an innovative cybersecurity solution designed to shield ships’ data and networks from a range of cyber threats. These include hacking,distributed denial-of-service(DDoS) attacks, ransomware, and malware. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI), the system provides advanced features such as anomaly detection, threat blocking, and real-time remote response. Installed on key shipboard equipment, it ensures effective cyber threat analysis and mitigation in real-time without disrupting vessel operations.

Rigorous Certification Process

The ABS ‘E27 TA’ certification represents a thorough assessment of the cybersecurity performance of ship equipment, spanning the entire lifecycle, including design, production, operation, and maintenance. This milestone marks the first time a ship cybersecurity solution from South Korea, China, or Japan has achieved this level of recognition in the global shipbuilding industry.

The certification process involves stringent evaluations to ensure the solution meets international standards for ship cybersecurity. SecuAider’s approval underlines its ability to provide robust protection against sophisticated cyber threats, setting a new benchmark in maritime security technology. Hanwha Systems’ achievement showcases its commitment to advancing cybersecurity in the maritime industry, reinforcing its status as a leader in this critical field.

Global Expansion Plans

With the ABS certification, Hanwha Systems is now positioned to tap into the global ship cybersecurity market, with a strong focus on U.S. shipbuilding and maritime businesses. This milestone opens doors for exporting SecuAider to American companies, significantly boosting the company’s presence in the international maritime security arena.

Hanwha Systems emphasized the importance of this achievement, stating, “Through this certification, we plan to expand into the global market, starting with the U.S. ship security market.” The company’s strategic move to penetrate global markets underscores its ambition to play a key role in enhancing the cybersecurity infrastructure of the global maritime industry.

This groundbreaking development not only enhances Hanwha Systems’ reputation but also reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity in modern shipbuilding and operations. As the maritime industry continues to face evolving cyber threats, solutions like SecuAider are expected to play a vital role in securing the future of naval and commercial vessels worldwide.
