CYTUR receives Digital Twin Ready AiP from Lloyd’s Register

CYTUR Inc. announced that its naval and commercial vessel cybersecurity solution 'CYTUR-MG (CYTUR Maritime Guard)' has received Approval in Principle (AiP) for Digital Twin Ready in the cybersecurity domain from the Lloyd's Register (LR). The approval is particularly significant as it represents an independent technical assessment of operational-stage cyber risk management, an area of growing importance as ship digitalization, autonomous navigation, remote operations, and smart ship adoption continue to expand.

Why maritime cybersecurity solutions are needed

IACS UR E26 and E27, the international regulations governing cyber resilience for new vessels, require ships to maintain real-time asset inventories and network topologies during operation and to detect cyber threats on a continuous basis. In a vessel environment where connectivity is unstable and access to external expertise is limited, meeting these requirements manually is virtually impossible — and this is precisely the role that CYTUR-MG is designed to fulfill automatically. This shift is increasingly visible across the broader industry agenda. Posidonia 2026, the world's largest shipping exhibition held in Athens this June, has placed maritime security, digitalization, and risk management at the core of its conference program. As vessels become more connected and tightly regulated, these themes are directly tied to cyber resilience an area whose importance is set to grow even further in the years ahead.

'CYTUR-MG' — Intelligent Integrated Cyber Resilience Platform for vessels

CYTUR-MG is an Intelligent Integrated Cyber Resilience Management Platform for vessels. Built on Digital Twin Topology technology, it delivers real-time automated management of asset inventories and network topologies for all onboard Computer-Based Systems (CBS), AI-driven threat detection, maritime-specific threat detection including GPS spoofing, and automated generation of records required for IACS UR E26/E27 certification maintenance—all within a single platform. A key strength is its integrated Collect–Analyze–Manage functions, which enable complete cyber resilience operations onboard without the need for any on-site experts.
