Case Study: NexusOcean achieves IMO-compliant, bandwidth-optimized maritime cybersecurity with Fortinet

Maritime Internet Services Provider Satisfies the Toughest Cybersecurity Demands

NexusOcean delivers satellite broadband, VoIP and entertainment to offshore energy and merchant shipping, connecting crew and corporate systems across vessels. The company had to prioritize limited and costly bandwidth for critical business traffic, install equipment quickly while ships have short port times, and meet growing IMO cybersecurity requirements for vulnerable onboard OT and IT systems.

NexusOcean deployed Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer to optimize traffic across VSAT, 4G and backup links, preconfigure devices for plug‑and‑play installation, and manage fleets remotely. The solution boosted application performance, tightened onboard security, automated IMO‑compliant reporting and risk analysis, and simplified fleet‑wide configuration and incident response.
