Advanced Cyber Security for NMEA 2000 Networks

With the increasing integration of connected technology in modern marine vessels, cybersecurity has become a critical concern. The Digital Yacht NET Protect NMEA 2000 Network Guard and IDS is the world’s first cybersecurity device specifically designed to protect NMEA 2000 networks from potential threats. Developed as part of the NMEA Organisation's initiative to enhance maritime cybersecurity, this device safeguards onboard networks, monitors data traffic, and provides real-time alerts against potential vulnerabilities.

Intelligent Network Protection and Monitoring

NET Protect is more than just a cybersecurity solution; it actively tests and validates the NMEA 2000 network during installation, ensuring optimal setup and security from the start. The device continuously monitors network activity, allowing users to view and analyze NMEA 2000 data, including device details, PGN displays, and raw data logs. This level of insight helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures the stability of vital onboard systems.

Seamless Connectivity and Remote Alerting

Equipped with an integrated WiFi antenna, NET Protect can create its own WiFi network or seamlessly integrate into the vessel’s existing wireless system. Configuration and monitoring are easily managed via a built-in web interface, providing a user-friendly way to oversee network security. The device features a 92dB internal buzzer for immediate on-board alerts and can send SMS notifications when paired with a Digital Yacht 4GX or 5GX product, keeping users informed even when they are off the vessel.

Robust and Future-Proof Design

NET Protect is built to withstand marine conditions with its IP54-rated enclosure, ensuring durability in harsh environments. The device is bus-powered, making installation straightforward without requiring additional power sources. Its future-proof architecture allows for firmware updates via the web interface, ensuring continuous protection against evolving cybersecurity threats.
