The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has issued a Type Approval for IACS UR E27 cyber resilience requirements to Hanwha Systems for its cybersecurity solution, SecuAider®, according to ABS's release.
Hanwha Systems’ SecuAider® is a software solution that offers protection to a vessel’s data and networks from advanced cyberattacks, such as ransomware and malware.
The ABS E27 certification is part of the ABS Cyber Resilience Program, which evaluates a range of digitally enabled systems and equipment, assessing security controls implemented at the design, construction, commissioning, and operational life of a vessel to support the vessel owner’s cyber resilience program.
“Our cyber evaluations support equipment vendors by evaluating compliance with IACS and ABS Cyber Resilience requirements. We look forward to continuing our work with Hanwha Systems where together we are helping owners and operators assess digital vulnerabilities in maritime computer systems,” said Gareth Burton, ABS Senior Vice President, Global Engineering.
