en.Wedoany.com Reported - Inmarsat Maritime's fully managed bundled connectivity service, NexusWave, has received a cybersecurity type approval from ClassNK, confirming that its onboard information and communication technology (ICT) architecture and equipment fully comply with the latest cybersecurity standard of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS)—Unified Requirement UR E27 (Rev.1).

This certification is based on ClassNK's assessment of the NexusWave onboard ICT architecture and equipment, confirming full compliance with the UR E27 standard. UR E27 imposes mandatory requirements for the cyber resilience of applicable onboard systems and equipment, aiming to ensure that these systems are designed to reduce the occurrence and mitigate the impact of cybersecurity incidents, thereby guaranteeing safe and reliable system operation.

During the certification process, ClassNK not only inspected each component but also conducted system verification in conjunction with the NexusWave onboard ICT architecture, covering onboard network equipment, related orchestration processes, and NexusWave managed service edge infrastructure components. By evaluating the system as a holistic ICT architecture, this certification supports NexusWave in achieving cyber resilience at the system level, in line with the intent of UR E27.

Gert-Jan Panken, Vice President and General Manager of Inmarsat Maritime, stated that cyber resilience has become a critical operational requirement for shipowners, and ClassNK's cybersecurity certification independently validates the security and resilience built into NexusWave from the design stage. Taro Okamoto, General Manager of ClassNK, noted that issuing this certification to Inmarsat Maritime's NexusWave is an important step in advancing the implementation of onboard cyber resilience technologies, and ClassNK will continue to contribute to the safety and reliability of maritime technology through impartial verification and certification services.
