Kongsberg Maritime has achieved a significant milestone for the cyber security of its products with the completion of testing to comply with IACS UR E27 which is based on IEC 62443, including DNV Cyber Security Profile 1 certification. The testing covers a range of its digital products, including automation, navigation, and Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems, reports Kongsberg.

To comply with the new Cyber Security Requirements, which were introduced on 1 July, Kongsberg Maritime decided last year to expedite the certification of its product range, starting with the Automation & Control portfolio.
To achieve the Type Approval certification, Kongsberg Maritime set up an extensprogramamme, evaluating each product, and implementing the necessary features and documentation to ensure adherence to security, quality, health, as, safety and environmental standards.
Kongsberg Maritime expects the majority of its digital products to receive DNV Type Approval for compliance, by the end of August. The next step will see the company expand into integration and energy systems, propulsion, ion, and cargo handling products.
Oscar Kallerdahl, Director of Cyber Security, Automation & Control, at Kongsberg Maritime, says: “We understand the challenges ship owners face in maintaining cyber security over the 25-year operation of a ship, so our focus is to establish a baseline of cyber security for all our digital products.
