Published

on

SINGAPORE, Nov. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MicroSec, a leader in operational technology (OT) cybersecurity, proudly announces that its CyberAssessor tool for assessing compliance with IACS UR E26 (a.k.a “Cyber Resilience of Ships”) has been awarded an official Letter of Attestation (LoA) by Bureau Veritas (BV), one of the world’s most trusted inspection, testing, and certification companies.

The LoA was awarded for demonstrating the compliance evaluation capability of the MicroSec CyberAssessor tool against the global UR E26 cybersecurity standard during the commissioning phase and the operational life of the ship for new builds.

The E26 standard is recognized as the latest and most stringent cybersecurity requirement for new builds starting from July 1st of this year and also guides ship owners on how to enable continuous cybersecurity readiness for even their existing vessels and fleets.

Rigorous Evaluation for Class Society Compliance.

Bureau Veritas evaluated the CyberAssessor tool through a rigorous process, analyzing how the tool maps cybersecurity practices against the E26 standard, ensuring that users of MicroSec’s platform are equipped with accurate and trustworthy assessments, and empowering them to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity strategies.

“With the increase in cyber threats targeting maritime vessels and fleets, maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture is essential. Its cybersecurity evaluation report, generated by MicroSec’s CyberAssessor, gives shipbuilders, ship operators, and fleet managers confidence that they will satisfy the E26 standards and protect their vessels from cyber risks,” said Riccardo Barbiellini, Senior Digital Innovation Lead for Bureau Veritas.

But that is just the beginning, according to Dr. Vishram Mishra, CEO of MicroSec, saying, “In addition to compliance, our CyberAssessor tool provides comprehensive insights into the cybersecurity health of a fleet, helping ship operators, ship builders and even ports address risks proactively. Combined with Bureau Veritas’s expertise in the industry, it strengthens our common mission to offer comprehensive and reliable solutions that take the industry to the next level.”

MicroSec and Bureau Veritas Sign Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Marking this historic achievement, MicroSec and Bureau Veritas have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at further strengthening their strategic partnership and commitment to the maritime industry.

MicroSec and BV will introduce the CyberAssessor tool for E26 starting in APAC, and then globally. Together, they aim to help shipbuilders, ship owners and ship operators comply with international industry standards, bolster their defenses against cyberattacks, and achieve cybersecurity excellence.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — March Networks®, a global leader in cloud-based intelligent video surveillance, is showcasing its revolutionary generative AI Smart Search tool at Intersec Dubai 2025. This innovative feature is designed to transform how businesses interact with and leverage video data, making it faster and easier than ever to find critical information.

AI Smart Search harnesses generative AI’s power to significantly enhance video data retrieval’s speed and precision. Using text or voice prompts like, “Show me long queues,” users can quickly search for specific objects, issues or individuals with unparalleled efficiency and situational awareness. This innovative feature is particularly suited for retail, restaurants, banking, and transportation industries where quick access to actionable insights is critical.

We’re excited to demonstrate its capabilities at Intersec Dubai, reaffirming our dedication to driving innovation in business intelligence solutions.”

Greater Speed and Accuracy: With unmatched precision, you can quickly locate specific events, objects, or individuals in video footage using a voice command or text prompt.Object and Attribute Detection: Search for specific objects, colors, or patterns to streamline investigations.Image Upload and Match: Upload an image, like a logo, to find where it appears in video footage—for example, track rebranding compliance with a query like, “Show me everywhere you see this logo.”Seamless Integration: Designed to work seamlessly with existing March Networks video solutions, ensuring a smooth customer transition.User-Friendly Web Interface: Accessible directly through a web browser, AI Smart Search is intuitive and easy to use, requiring minimal technical expertise. Predefined search templates streamline the process, helping users quickly identify related issues and maximize the tool’s capabilities.

How It Works:

Search for key security and operational issues and opportunities across all locations or select the ones you want to focus on, with filters for date and time, using simple text or voice commands.

Security and Compliance: Look for instances where cash has been left unattended and filter by date, asking, “Show me unattended opened cash registers,” or “Show me money left on tables and desks.”Safety and Risk Management: Track slip and fall prevention by asking, “Show me wet floors,” or “Show me wet floor signs.”Marketing and Customer Experience: Discover opportunities to improve the customer experience in your business and filter by timeframes by asking, “Show me long queues,” or “Show me empty tables.”Stock and Inventory Management: Oversee stock levels and delivery management by asking, “Show me empty shelves,” or “Show me open loading dock doors.”Theft Prevention: Monitor suspicious activity after hours with commands such as, “Show me the parking lot.”Operational Efficiency: Ensure cameras are functioning properly and capturing clear video by using commands like, “Show me blurry images.”

Intersec Dubai attendees can experience AI Smart Search in action through live demonstrations at stand SA-C23. The March Networks team will be on hand to discuss how this refined technology can address specific challenges across industries, from security and risk management to customer experience and operational efficiency.
