CYTUR achieves simultaneous certification from Korean and Japanese classification societies, gaining recognition for ship cybersecurity expertise
CYTUR, a company specializing in ship cybersecurity, has simultaneously obtained quality, security, and innovation technology certifications from the Korean Register of Shipping (KR) and ClassNK of Japan. This marks the world’s first case of a company receiving simultaneous certification from classification societies in both countries, underscoring the international recognition of CYTUR’s technological capabilities.
The certified technology is a “cyber threat modeling-based design-phase risk assessment technology,” which applies the ‘Secure By Design’ concept—analyzing cyber threats from the earliest stages of ship design and incorporating security measures into the design process. The technology has been evaluated as meeting the U.S. Department of Defense’s Risk Management Framework (RMF) and the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) cybersecurity standards (UR E27).
Building on this achievement, CYTUR plans to actively pursue Series A funding this year, with a strategy to strengthen its leadership in the ship cybersecurity market—spanning from naval vessels in the defense sector to commercial ships in the private sector.
A CYTUR representative stated, “The approach of applying security from the design phase is gaining significant attention within the shipbuilding and maritime industry,” adding, “We will continue to focus on developing and promoting technologies that meet global standards.”
