Train Your Crew for Real Cyber Threats. Reduce Incident Response Time by 40%.
Professional-grade maritime cyber training with intelligent threat injection. Transform your crew from passive observers to active first responders with proven simulation technology backed by real-time analytics.
Why SPG-Maritime Cyber Range
Beyond Classroom Theory – Experiential Cyber Readiness
While basic training relies on generic IT theory, SPG-Maritime Cyber Range understands your real-world maritime constraints:
- Hyper-Realistic Digital Twins – Train on high-fidelity replications of Bridge, Engine, and Cargo control systems rather than abstract IT interfaces.
- Dynamic Threat Injection – Scenarios evolve in real-time. A generic ransomware alert transforms into a multi-system failure requiring coordinated Bridge-Engine response.
- Operational Impact Focus – We don’t just teach “cyber”; we teach how cyber impacts navigation safety, stability, and cargo integrity.
- Compliance & Credibility – Curriculum aligned with IMO, BIMCO, and STCW guidelines ensures your training investment meets regulatory audits.
Key Features
Intelligent Scenario Engine
– Adaptive Difficulty: Scenarios adjust in real-time based on crew performance.
– Role-Specific Tracks: Distinct paths for Deck Officers (Navigation), Engineers (PLC/OT), and Shoreside IT.
– Multi-Vector Attacks: Simultaneous jamming, spoofing, and malware injection capabilities.
Vessel System Emulation
- Bridge integration: ECDIS, Radar/ARPA, AIS, GMDSS simulation.
- Engine Room: Main Engine control, Generator management, Ballast handling.
- Industrial Protocols: Authentic NMEA 0183/2000 and Modbus/TCP traffic generation.
Performance Analytics
- Competency Radar: Assess 7 key dimensions including Detection, Response, and Reporting.
- Flight Recorder: Full timeline replay of every keystroke and decision.
- Benchmark Scoring: Compare crew performance against global fleet averages.
Measurable Impact
40% Faster Response (MTTR)
Drastically reduce Mean Time to Respond. Crews conditioned by simulation detect anomalies in minutes, not hours.
100% IMO Compliance
Ensure full alignment with IMO Resolution MSC.428(98) cyber risk management guidelines for Safety Management Systems (SMS).
30% Training Cost Reduction
Replace expensive physical testbeds or travel-intensive workshops with a scalable, browser-based cloud platform.
Metric 4: Zero Operational Risk
Practice catastrophic failure scenarios (blackouts, steering loss) that are impossible to train on live vessels.

Trusted by Industry Leaders
“The realism of the ECDIS spoofing scenario opened our eyes. Our officers identified the anomaly 15 minutes faster after just two sessions.”
“Finally, a training tool that speaks ‘ship’ and not just ‘IT’. The integration of OT systems makes this essential for our engineers.”

FAQ Section
Q: Do students need coding skills?
- A: No. Scenarios focus on operational response (SOPs) and decision-making for deck/engine officers, not IT hacking skills.
Q: Can we customize scenarios for our specific ECDIS?
- A: Yes. The Enterprise tier supports custom development to model specific vendor equipment (e.g., JRC, Furuno, Transas).
Q: How does this differ from standard CBT (Computer Based Training)?
- A: CBT is passive (watching videos). The Cyber Range is active (doing). Participants must actually interact with compromised systems to succeed.
Q: key bandwidth requirements?
- A: Cloud version requires ~1.5 Mbps per user. The text-based protocol emulation is highly efficient. Offline options are available for low-bandwidth vessels.
