In today’s maritime landscape, digital transformation is essential. Orbyt Nexus marks a major step forward, bridging ship and shore through a unified, secure, and intelligent platform. Built for the evolving needs of modern fleets, it integrates connectivity, cybersecurity, fleet tracking, reporting, and crew welfare into a single managed service, reshaping what’s possible in smart shipping.
At its foundation, Orbyt Nexus is a modular platform that merges high-performance connectivity with operational intelligence and security. It supports seamless integration of VSAT, Starlink, 4G/5G, and SD-WAN policies to ensure uninterrupted communication worldwide. What sets it apart is its deep integration with cybersecurity. Built on the Sophos XGS next-generation firewall, it delivers fleet-wide AI-powered threat detection, traffic encryption, and SD-WAN enforcement as standard. For customers seeking enhanced endpoint security, Sophos Intercept X can also be deployed to protect onboard devices against advanced threats.
A defining innovation is the integration of Next-Generation Detection & Response (NDR) powered by Sophos. Unlike legacy firewalls, NDR continuously monitors behavior, detects anomalies, and initiates real-time responses across the onboard network. This delivers SOC-level cybersecurity directly to the vessel, even in bandwidth-constrained environments, setting a new standard in maritime threat defense.
Equally significant is the introduction of Microsoft-based authentication for the Nexus portal. Centralized, role-based access is now possible via Microsoft accounts or Active Directory, enabling secure single sign-on (SSO) across ship and shore. This eliminates shared credentials and enhances access control, aligning with ISO/IEC 27001 and IMO MSC.428(98) requirements.
The Dashboard provides real-time insights into vessel location, network status, latency, and satellite usage in a single view. This enables informed operational decisions and proactive troubleshooting. Combined with live device health monitoring, connectivity becomes an intelligent asset, not just an operational cost.
Orbyt Nexus also enhances crew welfare through a secure voucher system, roaming access, and a self-service portal, ensuring fair and managed internet access. SD-WAN and VLAN policies maintain strict network segmentation between crew and business traffic, ensuring cybersecurity is never compromised.
In summary, Orbyt Nexus delivers a future-ready, cyber-resilient solution that replaces fragmented systems with a unified platform for smart, secure shipping. With integrated AI threat protection, Microsoft identity control, real-time visibility, and enhanced crew services, it represents a milestone in maritime innovation, empowering shipping companies to operate smarter, safer, and more efficiently across the globe.”
