Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe collaboration integrates Cydome\u2019s class-certified cybersecurity technology into the Rakuten Maritime digital infrastructure platform, enabling multi-layered protection across the entire vessel lifecycle.
\n\u201cThe cooperation comes at a time of escalating maritime threat levels and increased ship connectivity, which is expanding the attack surface,\u201d said Cydome CEO Nir Ayalon, adding that generative AI is transforming how hackers expose system vulnerabilities.
\n\u201cAttackers are now using AI to identify and exploit vulnerabilities at machine speed, turning new flaws into active threats within hours. This leaves defenders with practically zero time to patch systems. Securing vessels one system at a time with basic firewalls and endpoint antivirus is no longer enough to stop these modern threats.\u201d
\nAyalon said that shipping companies need a unified solution, one that is already built for maritime environments, rather than making adaptations and managing fragmented cyber tools.
\nThe Cydome approach secures the vessel from cyber hackers with the best-in-class protection for IT as well as maritime-specific operational technology (OT) that uses unique maritime protocols like NMEA and MODBUS and other proprietary protocols. This is crucial for the ship\u2019s critical functionality and business continuity.
\n\u201cAs vessels become more connected and more regulations are imposed, safeguarding OT is the main concern for maritime companies,\u201d added Ayalon. \u201cAdditionally, context-aware AI analyses information from multiple layers of protection simultaneously, identifying the context of events and their impact on the entire ship. This moves beyond standard monitoring of individual assets for disconnected anomalies.\u201d
\n\u201cBy partnering with Rakuten Maritime, we are ensuring that sophisticated, AI-driven protection is accessible to every vessel, regardless of its age, existing architecture, or the technical expertise of the crew onboard,\u201d said Ayalon.
\n\u201cBy automatically learning the behavior of any third-party device used on the vessel or offshore site, we can provide asset owners with an advanced future-proofed security solution for existing and new software and digital platforms.\u201d
\nRakuten Maritime and Cydome share a common vision: making cybersecurity a foundational layer of modern maritime operations.
\n\u201cThrough this collaboration, we are closing critical security gaps across the entire vessel lifecycle from ship design to daily operations, helping shipowners and operators build more secure, resilient, and future-ready fleets,\u201d said Ryan Son, President of Internet Services Business Unit at Rakuten Symphony and Head of Rakuten Maritime.
\nAs part of the collaboration agreement, Rakuten Maritime can offer Cydome\u2019s 24\/7 maritime cybersecurity managed SOC services. Maritime cyber experts constantly monitor vessels, address issues, and help teams mitigate incidents faster and more accurately to minimize operational impact.
\nBy providing automated risk scoring and a unified fleet-wide risk management dashboard, the Cydome and Rakuten Maritime collaboration simplifies complex risk management and compliance. The companies say this helps shipping companies confidently pass audits and comply with all mandatory requirements without adding administrative burden.<\/p>\n
