Strengthening Cyber Resilience in Shipping
The International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) has introduced a new set of unified requirements to strengthen cybersecurity within the maritime sector. Two of the most crucial regulations include:

• IACS UR E26 “Cyber resilience of ships” – focusing on the overall cyber resilience of vessels by ensuring the secure integration of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) systems throughout a ship’s lifecycle.
  
  

• IACS UR E27 “Cyber resilience of on-board systems and equipment” – setting specific cybersecurity standards for individual on-board systems and equipment.
  
  

A Milestone in Maritime Cybersecurity
By achieving compliance with DNV Security Profile 1, Furuno has demonstrated that its navigation and communication equipment is not only cyber-resilient but also fully compliant with the latest international maritime standards. This milestone underlines Furuno’s leadership in providing innovative and secure solutions in today’s increasingly connected maritime world.

Industry-Wide Impact
Both UR E26 and UR E27 regulations will become mandatory for all newly-contracted vessels on or after 1st July 2024, marking a new era in safeguarding ships from cyber threats. Furuno’s proactive compliance ensures that shipowners, operators, and crews can place their trust in equipment that has been rigorously tested and verified against stringent cybersecurity benchmarks.

Commitment to a Secure Future
As the maritime industry continues to embrace digitalization, ensuring robust cybersecurity measures is no longer optional it is essential. Furuno’s compliance achievement reflects its unwavering dedication to supporting shipowners and operators in navigating the challenges of cyber resilience, while setting a benchmark for others in the industry to follow.
