USE CASES

Real threats. Real maritime scenarios.

The cyber incidents Telemar TNL helps operators prevent, detect and recover from, every day across the global fleet:

High risk

Crew phishing attack compromises shore-side credentials

A crew member aboard a vessel in port opens a convincing phishing email and enters their corporate login credentials. Within hours, attackers use the compromised account to move laterally into fleet management systems ashore. Telemar TNL's Phishing Awareness Programme and Privileged Access Management stop the attack before it escalates, the crew member's training flags the email, and PAM blocks lateral movement even after the credentials are taken.


90%

of cyber-attacks begin with a phishing email targeting employees or crew

High risk

Ransomware locks vessel navigation and reporting systems

Ransomware propagates through an onboard network, encrypting ECDIS chart data, voyage reporting software and communications systems. The vessel cannot file regulatory reports and loses access to digital charts. Telemar TNL's SOC detects anomalous encryption behaviour within minutes, isolates affected systems, and manages recovery, restoring operational capability without paying the ransom.


40%

less likely to suffer a major incident when threats are detected within 24 hours

High risk

GPS spoofing attack displaces vessel position data

A vessel operating in a contested maritime region begins receiving falsified GPS signals that display an incorrect position on ECDIS, a known tactic used by nation-state actors to divert or confuse commercial shipping. Telemar TNL's OT-aware Network Detection and Response identifies anomalous positioning data inconsistencies and alerts the bridge team before navigational decisions are made on false information.

Compliance risk

NIS2 audit reveals critical compliance gaps across the fleet

An EU-flagged operator faces its first NIS2 compliance audit and discovers significant gaps in its cybersecurity documentation, incident response procedures and board-level reporting, with potential fines running to millions of euros for non-compliance. Telemar TNL conducts a Gap and Compliance Assessment, develops the required governance framework aligned to NIS2 and IACS requirements, and produces the full audit trail needed to demonstrate compliance to regulators.

Compliance risk

Third-party vendor remote access exposes OT systems to attack

A navigation equipment manufacturer requires remote access to diagnose a fault on an ECDIS unit. Without proper controls, this vendor access creates an unmonitored pathway into the vessel's OT network. Telemar TNL's Secure Remote Access service provides the manufacturer with controlled, encrypted, time-limited access, logged and auditable, while PAM ensures the connection cannot be used to reach any system beyond the specific equipment being serviced.
