In recent years, the increasing reliance on GPS navigation systems has made vessels more vulnerable to remote cyberattacks. One of the most dangerous and elusive threats is GPS spoofing, a form of interference where attackers manipulate satellite signals to mislead a vessel’s navigation system. This type of attack is especially concerning because it is difficult to detect and can have catastrophic consequences on a vessel’s safety and operations.

To counter this rising threat, Halo Group Security has introduced the HSSD Halo Satellite Spoofing Detection System, a groundbreaking solution that provides real-time protection against GPS spoofing and other forms of satellite signal interference. The HSSD system is designed to continuously monitor and analyse GPS signals, detecting any anomalies or signs of malicious interference. Once an attack is detected, the system isolates the attack signals, preventing them from affecting the vessel’s critical navigation and time synchronisation systems.

By ensuring the integrity of GPS data, the HSSD system guarantees that vessels can maintain accurate and reliable navigation, even in hostile environments. Whether at sea or navigating through high-risk regions, this technology provides an added layer of security, allowing maritime operators to maintain course with confidence.

The HSSD Halo Spoofing Detection System not only protects against current GPS spoofing techniques but also adapts to evolving threats, ensuring long-term defence against emerging technologies. As the maritime industry faces increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, Halo Group Security remains at the forefront of developing solutions that safeguard the stability and safety of global shipping and marine operations.

With the launch of HSSD, Halo has taken a decisive step in defending against one of the most covert forms of attack in the modern maritime world, making it an essential tool for protecting vessels and critical infrastructure.

Alan McCormick from Halo Group Security, attended the Boats International Design Festival in Italy, to discuss the new legislation affecting the Maritime Industry from the 1st April 2020.

The panel spoke as new IMO security regulations are set to come into force on January 1, 2021. These regulations will state that owners must provision for cyber security on board. It was also agreed that the industry needs to do more and called on designers and builders to implement cyber security into yachts right from the concept stage.

We work on all aspects of Security under our 360 Alliance and events like this are important in our core function to make it Maritime travel safer.

This even was well attended and looked at the imminent changes and challenges we face. We were able to work as a group of people from all walks of life that support and invest in the future of Maritime activities. Especially in the current climate, we look to support our families wherever you are in the World amidst the ‘lockdown’ we are all experiencing.
