CYTUR Inc., a maritime cybersecurity specialist, today 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.
Background: 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, digitalisation, and risk management at the core of its conference programme. 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.
CYTUR is a maritime cybersecurity specialist that has been developing maritime-specialized cybersecurity platforms protecting vessels throughout their lifecycle since 2016. Built on a ‘Secure by Design’ philosophy, CYTUR provides solutions and consulting that strengthen cyber resilience across ship design, construction, commissioning, and operational stages. Furthermore, by automating and integrating complex IACS UR E26/E27 regulatory requirements through Digital Twin technology, CYTUR enables customers to reduce both certification preparation periods and operational management costs.
Meet CYTUR-MG at KOE 2026
CYTUR-MG can be experienced through live demonstrations at the CYTUR booth (Booth No. D140) during Korea Ocean Expo (KOE) 2026, to be held from Wednesday, June 17 through Friday, June 19, 2026, at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, South Korea. Visitors will be able to experience the core capabilities of CYTUR’s maritime vessel cybersecurity solutions firsthand.
CEO Jo Yong-hyun said, “This CYTUR-MG AiP is an important milestone demonstrating that maritime cybersecurity is evolving beyond mere regulatory compliance into operational technology that continuously assures the safety of vessels and fleets during operation. Through our full-lifecycle vessel cybersecurity platform spanning design to operation, CYTUR will support shipyards, ship owners, equipment manufacturers, and naval and maritime defense customers in achieving secure digital transformation.”
He added, “Through collaboration with ship owners, shipbuilders, and maritime organizations both domestically and internationally, CYTUR will establish itself as a leader in setting global maritime cybersecurity standards.”
