Hack the boat
What happens when a vessel gets hacked?
See it. Stop it. Secure your vessel.
When one system goes down at sea, the whole mission is at risk.
With Hack the Boat, we show how a single breach can sink operations – and how Zero Trust keeps you afloat.
Ships are an easy target for cybercriminals
The maritime sector has seen a dramatic 900% increase in cybersecurity breaches within operational technology over recent years.
Once considered safe due to isolation at sea, the industry now faces significant attacks causing operational failures and financial losses.
With our Hack the Boat demo, we want to highlight this issue and show how we can face and overcome it.
IT MEETS OT
NAVAL VULNERABILITIES
Modern shipping operations rely heavily on both Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) for navigation, communication, and operational management.
This reliance makes ships susceptible to cyber-attacks that target these technologies.
WELCOME TO OUR
HACK THE BOAT DEMO
Cybercrime in the maritime industry is rising fast. Together with Damen Shipyards, we brought this urgent issue to the stage at the ONE Conference.
The mix of OT and IT aboard ships—often open, outdated, and unencrypted—looks like an open invitation to hackers. So how do we stop today’s threats from becoming tomorrow’s crises?
Resilience starts with action: secure legacy systems, segment IT and OT networks, modernize encryption, and train maritime crews in cybersecurity. Addressing both tech and human factors is key to safer seas.
Our live demo makes it real—with actual tech, hands-on experience, and a red team vs. blue team scenario that shows what’s at stake, and how to fight back.
REAL TECHNOLOGY
Our experience features actual technology that can be found aboard container ships, such as ballast controls and the AIS system.
The scale model comes with scale versions of actual ship operations, as well as miniature containers.
HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
For those more tech-savvy, the Hack the Boat demo comes with the opportunity for hacking the ship’s systems yourselves!
Do you have what it takes to capsize our scale model?
RED TEAM VS BLUE TEAM
This environment is perfect for RED versus BLUE exercises, where participants can challenge themselves in both attacking and defending critical infrastructure.
