IACS UR E26 / E27
Our largest topic. UR E26 and E27 set cyber resilience requirements for ships contracted from 1 July 2024. Coverage runs clause by clause through CBS inventory, zones and conduits, the integrator's role, type approval, and supplier documentation, with IEC 62443 cross-references and complete guides.
Next: continuing the UR E27 supplier series, and moving from what the rule says to how it holds up in operation.

Maritime OT & Ship Systems
Bridge, propulsion, power, cargo and safety systems are increasingly networked, with long lifecycles and real-time constraints that IT practice does not cover. We explain how each system works, then how to secure it: asset inventory, vulnerability handling, secure remote access and evaluating security products.
Next: filling in the remaining ship system groups and adding practical evaluation guides for solutions.
