James Soon, General Manager of Zycraft USV Pte Ltd said: 'Cybersecurity is intricately linked to unmanned ships. We see these two subjects as twins or two sides of the same coin. Ships may be smartly unmanned, but the confidence in that comes from strong cybersecurity because the unmanned ship owner always wants to know what that vessel is doing. Remote communication is key.'

'Here at Zycraft, cybersecurity is front and centre of our vessel hardware design as well as communcation design. We engage with capable partners like Cydome to evaluate our cybersecurity approaches and also to harden it. We know that cybersecurity is dynamic and therefore constant watchkeeping is needed.'
