Expertise / Maritime Cyber
Maritime cyber risk, measured at sea.
Trident addresses cyber and electronic risk where it affects the ship — navigation, positioning, communications and onboard systems — as an operational problem, not an abstract IT one.
The thesis
Protect navigation. Protect systems. Protect the operation.
At sea, cyber risk is operational risk. Interference with positioning, manipulation of tracking or compromise of onboard technology can affect navigation, safety and the decisions made on the bridge.
Trident assesses that exposure in operational terms and helps crews and operators maintain resilience — before, during and after a voyage.
What shapes the risk
Cyber resilience across the voyage.
Where maritime cyber risk becomes operational. These are the points at which it is assessed and managed, not a fixed sequence.
Assess
Understand exposure across navigation, operational technology and connected systems.
Operate
Maintain resilience while the vessel is at sea.
Respond & comply
Respond to incidents and meet regulatory obligations.
Key themes
What we work across.
GNSS integrity
Whether the position a bridge is trusting is the position it actually holds.
Jamming
Loss of positioning and navigation signal in contested waters.
Spoofing
Manipulated positions and tracks that mislead the bridge or the shore.
Navigation & vessel systems
ECDIS, radar and onboard operational technology exposure.
Communications
The links a vessel depends on, and what their compromise means.
Operational resilience
Maintaining safe operation when systems are degraded or attacked.
The chain
From signal to decision.
Cyber risk becomes maritime risk as it travels from the signal a vessel relies on to the decision made on the bridge.
Digital signal
GNSS, AIS and the communications a vessel depends on.
Vessel system
ECDIS, radar and onboard operational technology.
Bridge understanding
The position and picture the bridge is trusting.
Operational decision
The action taken on that understanding.
Concerned about your vessel's systems?
Discuss your vessel systemsThe real danger in GNSS interference is not the signal a bridge loses, but the false position it keeps trusting.
