Igloo Corporation said on the 12th that it has additionally obtained certification for the "Common requirements for cyber resilience of onboard systems and equipment (UR E27)" from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). This follows certifications from Bureau Veritas (BV) and the Korean Register (KR), meaning it has passed technical verification by major international classification societies.
The company said it has increased its credibility in the global maritime security market by securing certifications from full-member societies of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS).
Igloo Corporation also verified its capability to support penetration tests through a joint development project (JDP) to comply with the Common requirements for cyber resilience of ships (UR E26). It obtained a level 2 certificate of approval in principle (AiP) for UR E26 from Bureau Veritas and conducted penetration tests on a Hyundai LNG Shipping vessel with classification society attendance.
The company is pushing to expand its business with the ship-specialized SIEM solution "SPiDER OT for Maritime." The solution integrates management of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) assets onboard, supporting everything from asset identification to threat detection and response. It is designed so that even crew members who are not IT experts can intuitively check the security status.
The solution has been deployed on three 174K CBM-class LNG carriers: HLS Bilbao, Putri Mayang, and Hyundai Principia. The company said it has thereby secured a real-world case of ship security compliant with UR E27 regulations.
Igloo Corporation CEO Lee Deuk-chun said, "We have objectively proved our maritime security technology through successive global classification certifications," adding, "We will expand our CPS security business to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing and energy, as well as ships."
