Aspida is the proud winner of Lloyd’s List Intelligence Big Data Award in the 2017 Greek Shipping Awards.
This year’s Award ceremony was inspired by the challenging future the Shipping Industry is currently facing: transitioning from the old, traditional Industry to a more contemporary and advanced, digital era and all the benefits and concerns it brings. Aspida embraces this advancement and is committed to assist by developing innovative yet practical solutions for the Shipping Industry. The Lloyd’s List Intelligence Big Data Award highlights and validates Aspida’s efforts.
This particular award originates from the significant potential Big Data has to transform shipping; from timely insights drawn from real-time monitoring and forecasting of events, to improved management of performance and risk. For Aspida, Big Data was born out of the necessity of data sets growing so large and complex that traditional tools were no longer sufficient to process. Aggregating large amounts of data from many different sources makes Big Data very powerful for business decision-making, threat intelligence, revealing insights and behaviors faster and better than possible with any traditional means.
Simply put, Aspida has developed a way to protect vessels from any internal or external cyber attack, using Big Data.
More specifically, Aspida's Cyber Division, has developed a Vessel Security Information and Event Management platform, called Nemesis, which is a unique implementation of an unprecedented managed security system for vessels. Nemesis endpoints are installed individually on every vessel we monitor and gather security data; The endpoint has the ability to correlate and report back data collected from Servers, Bridge Computers, Network Devices, SCADAs/PLCs, or any other PC onboard. This data is analyzed to allow real time detection of cyber attack attempts and other potentially malicious activity.
Mr. Panos G. Moraitis, CEO of Aspida Group commented on the award: “Stay tuned for more developments at the forefront of tech”
