ABS Advanced Solutions (ABS) announced a partnership with Mission Secure™ Inc. (MSi) to provide more comprehensive and streamlined cyber protection.
Building on the success of the FCI Cyber Risk™ Methodology, integration of the MSi platform gives ABS clients significantly enhanced cyber defense of industrial control systems that operate modern day vessels and offshore platforms.
FCI Cyber Risk™ Methodology provides industry a simple and practical way to count and quantify risk. Integrating the MSi platform with the FCI Cyber Risk™ method delivers a comprehensive shared understanding of cyber risk across assets, in combination with continuous 24/7 network monitoring and protective solutions. The platform is powered by an on-board or cloud-based dashboard for centralized management at all levels.
Rather than a one-size fits all approach, ABS offers a solution designed to respond to individual clients’ needs, whatever the maturity of their cyber program. For ABS clients using the Nautical Systems marine-focused ERP solution, this serves as an extension to allow more data-driven insights that enable smart decision-making and swift incident response.
The ABS FCI Cyber Risk™ Methodology was developed following a two-year research contract with the Maritime Security Center—a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence—led by Stevens Institute of Technology and including the US Department of Defense.
