Cybersecurity Services for MAD Security

MAD Security works the defence industrial base and, unusually, maritime. Very few security firms list maritime at all, and the ones that do have usually arrived there by accident rather than by choice.

Maritime is its own discipline. A vessel is an operational technology environment that moves between jurisdictions, runs systems with service lives measured in decades, and connects over satellite links that are expensive, slow and intermittent. Navigation and cargo systems were designed on the assumption that nobody hostile could reach them. Port facilities sit under US Coast Guard cyber requirements that look nothing like the frameworks an IT security consultant knows. None of it responds well to a methodology built for corporate networks.

CWS provides the conventional security capacity around that speciality: cloud, identity, assessment and compliance work for the shore-side and corporate estate that every maritime and defence client also runs. Delivered under MAD Security's name, so its own people stay on the vessel and port work almost nobody else can do.
