For full details check our how we can help with compliance in our full article.
GTMaritime’s suite of products assist in ensuring maritime cyber risk management compliance with these regulations including;
Protect:
As part of our service to GTMailPlus customers we provide a free Phishing Penetration Test. The test allows customers to evaluate the ability of their personnel to identify phishing attacks, to encourage vigilance regardless of the software solutions and identify any requirements for further training.
Detect:
GTMailPlus and GTSeaMail include cyber security features as Advanced Threat Protection, Antivirus Scanning and Anti-phishing as well as providing reports on the threats detected. GTMailPlus.Continuity allows for continuing business if there is a break in connectivity.
GTSentinel provides end point protection.
GTDeploy allows for patch management to be implemented in a timely and cost-effective manner to protect vessels.
Repond:
GTMailplus includes features including quarantine, archiving and continuity to ensure vessels are protected and you can respond to any threats.
Recover:
Hackers are constantly trying to come up with new ruses to outwit software-based protections and companies must be prepared if one of the threats is able to breach their defences. To ensure business can continue if a threat is successful GTMaritime products include features such as Archiving, Backup and Restore and Continuity. We also have our new GTDeploy solution which ensure software patches can be updated easily and in a timely manner.
