Bringing cybersecurity to the seas

Cyberspace is just as much a military domain as land, air, sea, and space. However, it is fundamentally different because it is inherently interconnected with all other domains—both military and civilian.

Our Strenghts in Naval Cyber Defence

Multi-domain expertise

With over a century of experience in the naval domain and as global recognition as a cybersecurity leader, Thales is uniquely positioned to leverage its extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure the cybersecurity of military systems and solutions.
Cybersecure by design

During the development of Thales products and solutions, digital threats are considered from the earliest stages, ensuring that digital resilience is embedded from the design stage.
Cybersecurity as service

However, cybersecurity does not end after delivery. Like more traditional threats, digital threats continue to evolve. That is why Thales proposes a range of Naval Cybersecurity services to support naval forces wherever they are in the world.

Countering digital threats

A digital attack on a naval vessel is an attractive option for malicious forces, as it is often a cheaper, safer, and more covert alternative to a physical attack. Thales leverages its knowledge of the systems, their context, and its cyber expertise to deliver effective solutions for countering such digital threats.

Identification, detection, and response form the framework of the Naval Cybersecurity portfolio. By ensuring knowledge and awareness of various threat scenarios, we establish a clear understanding of risks and potential impacts. This enables rapid detection when a threat materializes. Once a threat is detected, we move swiftly to respond and/or mitigate, neutralizing the threat and ensuring the mission remains unaffected.

Our capabilities in Naval Cyber Defence

Thales designed specific cyber detection methods tailored to naval vessels. These methods enable us to detect suspicious activities that might negatively impact on the ship and its operational capabilities. Based on these detections, Anti Cyber Warfare provides real-time insights into the impact of the cyber incident, enabling mitigation and action.

Within the Cyber domain, threats develop every day. As you update your phone and computer, the digital solutions on board of a frigate also require regular updates are a must. However, considering all variabilities, such as the stringent requirements for safety, performance and accreditation and the extensive lifecycle of a frigate, such updates are more intricate operations. Through which Thales proudly supports its partners.
