Maritime technology has been developing rapidly for some time now, with 80% of world trade transported by sea today. While we enjoy the fruits of that development, we must remember to fortify our defences to ensure they remain untainted. That is why we proudly announce that CR14 has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Singapore Maritime Institute (SMI), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Tallinn University of Technology to jointly focus and collaborate on maritime cybersecurity R&D.
A vital area of that collaboration is CR14’s participation in cyber training exercises using the SUTD-based Maritime Testbed of Shipboard Operational Technology (MariOT) system. The MariOT system will be an industrial-grade cyber-physical model of the essential shipboard operational technology systems. When operational, it will support testing a host of cyber vulnerabilities and solutions through simulations, drills and exercises with industry partners.
CR14’s CEO Silver Andre explained the importance of the collaboration: “The ever-evolving nature of technology and its increasing intertwinement with our surroundings means that extra care and thought must be put into securing the systems we depend upon as a society. Maritime cybersecurity is especially critical, as shipping interruptions can and already have affected the global economy. The MariOT system is an excellent training and simulation solution that helps to secure and prepare the shipping sector for tomorrow’s cybersecurity challenges. CR14 is proud to participate in this partnership and contribute to improving maritime cybersecurity”.
The signing of the MoU took place at the Accelerating Decarbonisation and Digitalisation Conference in Singapore as part of the Singapore Maritime Week events.

Cyber ranges come in different styles and sizes but tend to revolve around the public sector and military forces' needs. CR14 helps to change that with its Open Cyber Range, which is aimed directly towards the private sector. And for free at that!
