Make your fleet’s cyber measures demonstrable.
For commercial inland fleets of approximately 10 vessels upwards: managed onboard IT/OT protection delivered by MDM, powered by aXite.
Two commercial and operational moments.
As an inland shipping operator, your priority is to deliver your cargo safely, reliably and on time. Your customers trust you with their goods, and every voyage carries that responsibility. Protecting your fleet against cyber threats is therefore not just about meeting contractual requirements. It is about safeguarding your vessels, your crew, your cargo and the continuity of your business.
Cybersecurity protection also helps you prepare for increasingly demanding contractual security requirements, giving customers confidence in your operations and supporting new business opportunities.
- 01
Cargo and charter requirements
Cargo owners, charterers, terminals and other connected parties increasingly ask for documented cybersecurity measures in the commercial chain. The requirement is evidence of measures taken.
- 02
Digitisation and remote maintenance
Connected onboard systems, remote maintenance and vessel-to-shore communication, including links with terminals and other connected parties, expand the surface that fleet teams must manage.

Vessel protection
MDM protects the vessel’s critical systems by securely managing, monitoring and separating IT and OT networks, supporting safe, reliable onboard operations and transport.

Local controls
Policies and detection sit close to the vessel systems, including engine, energy and vessel-to-shore flows. Controlled supplier maintenance access is managed within that local model.

Shore-side review
Managed monitoring, review and an agreed incident response path support the crew without asking them to become cyber specialists.

Fleet reporting
Repeatable reporting gives the operator a practical record of the measures in place across the fleet.
A fleet proposition for repeatable management.
Where it fits
