Case study

Strengthening cybersecurity in complex maritime environments

With over 15 years of extensive work within the defense ecosystem, Nortal has built an exceptional reputation for delivering high-quality cybersecurity architecture and security operations outcomes. Leveraging this expertise, Nortal was approached by a government defense agency to undertake an urgent and critical security assessment project.

Government Government Transformation
The client needed assistance in implementing protective monitoring (detect) and incident response (respond) mechanisms within a unique and complex maritime environment. This environment included traditional Information Technology (IT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and Operational Technology (OT).

Solution

Nortal employed the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) framework to assess the current status of the client’s environment. The assessment aimed to discover the breadth of control coverage and provide tailored recommendations. The team also led the delivery of remediation actions to enhance detection and response capabilities in this intricate setting.

The activities included:

  1. Assessment: Conducting a thorough evaluation using the NIST framework to understand the current cybersecurity posture.
  2. Gap Analysis: Identifying areas lacking sufficient control coverage and potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Recommendations: Providing strategic and actionable recommendations to improve cybersecurity measures.
  4. Implementation: Leading the implementation of the recommended actions to bolster the detection and response systems.
  5. Monitoring Enhancements: Upgrading the monitoring systems to ensure comprehensive surveillance of the IT/OT infrastructure.
  6. Incident Response Improvements: Enhancing incident response activities to ensure swift and effective reaction to cybersecurity incidents.

Outcome

The project culminated in a successful gap analysis, the development of a robust security improvement and transformation plan, and the implementation of several key recommendations. These efforts significantly enhanced the monitoring capabilities of the client’s IT/OT infrastructure and improved incident response activities, thereby substantially reducing cybersecurity risks. Nortal’s intervention not only fortified the client’s defenses but also provided a scalable framework for ongoing security improvements.

Through a structured and comprehensive approach, Nortal helped the client achieve a clearer understanding of their current cybersecurity state. The prioritized roadmap and strategic recommendations provided a solid foundation for mitigating immediate and short term risks and enhancing the organization’s overall cyber resilience. This demonstrates the importance of a unified view and strategic alignment in effectively managing cybersecurity in large, complex organizations.
