CND's Maritime Cyber Security Experience

Over the last 14 years, CND has been delivering cyber security capability to naval forces, including the European Union Naval Force and the British Royal Navy.  We have extended our former 'defence force only' offering to the private sector, and our simple, honest, down to earth and plain speaking approach without all the hype or scaremongering is seen a welcome change.

We also understand that many seafarers may not share our passion for cyber security.  Our soultion was to take on experienced non-cyber seafarers as Service Delivery Managers, who ensure our message is understandable and that our cyber experts understand the environment and your priorities. 

This combination of seafarers and cyber specialists, coupled with our understanding of IMO MCS-FAL.1/Circ.3, are able to deliver a range of services to help you comply with the IMO mandate.
