Case Study: Eidesvik Offshore achieves secure email across its global fleet with Proofpoint

Protecting Email on the High Seas

Eidesvik Offshore ASA is a Norway‑based shipping company that operates a global fleet of purpose‑built vessels providing cargo, subsea construction, maintenance, seismic survey and offshore wind services. Because the business continuously exchanges sensitive data by email with customers, partners and unknown international operators — including “floating branch offices” at sea — its outdated email defenses left it highly exposed to phishing and other targeted attacks.

Working with Data Equipment, Eidesvik implemented Proofpoint solutions (Protection Server, Targeted Attack Protection, Threat Response Auto‑Pull) alongside standard email protections (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNSSEC) and plans for Security Awareness Training. The deployment improved threat visibility, automated responses to reduce manual workload, delivered a customizable, integrated security platform and ensured more secure, efficient email handling across the company’s fleet.
