More than 80% of cyber attacks target unprotected assets outside traditional security perimeters—posing a significant risk for businesses operating in remote locations that depend on reliable connectivity. 

With Marlink Cyber’s External Attack Surface Management, you gain a real-time, comprehensive view of your threat landscape, enabling you to identify potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. As digital transformation accelerates, expanding your attack surface, continuous monitoring is essential. By proactively managing risks, you can minimise security breaches and maintain compliance, ensuring your business remains protected. 

Cyber criminals are constantly searching for the weakest link in your security defences, with 60% of successful breaches resulting from unaddressed vulnerabilities. Without full visibility of your digital footprint or a clear understanding of where your systems are most at risk, you may be leaving critical attack vectors exposed. 

By thoroughly reviewing your security architecture, you can detect and prioritise vulnerabilities in your IT defences, reducing your overall attack surface and strengthening protection for your systems and data. A compliance and gap assessment further ensures any security control lapses are identified, helping you stay aligned with evolving industry data and security standards. 

Understanding how your systems would withstand a real-world attack is key to identifying your most vulnerable points. Conducting penetration testing allows you to simulate a live cyber attack, uncovering organisational weaknesses and areas where your data may be exposed. 

By leveraging a range of security tests—including penetration testing, red teaming, and purple teaming— you can strengthen your cyber resilience, ensuring your organisation is better prepared against real-world threats. Security testing also helps maintain compliance with evolving data and privacy regulations, which is critical given that the cost of non-compliance can be more than double that of compliance. 

Cyber threats are relentless, criminals don’t clock off just because it’s outside business hours. This means continuous monitoring is essential to detect risks and take action before an attack occurs. 

Our cyber security platform provides real-time visibility of the threat landscape, keeping you informed and alert to emerging risks. This proactive approach ensures you stay ahead of potential breaches. Organisations that can detect threats within 24 hours are 40% less likely to suffer a major security incident. 

Almost three-quarters of cyber breaches originate from compromised credentials—just like a burglar entering your house with a set of stolen keys. By restricting what individual users can access by limiting security permissions to essential personnel only, you can vastly reduce the risk of cyber criminals doing significant damage if they get in. This means even if a hacker was able to compromise the credentials of a lower level employee, they would still be locked out of critical systems. 

Our privileged access management service continuously monitors user sessions, helping spot any unusual activity and instantly blocking any unauthorised use, ensuring access to systems and data is properly always safeguarded.

If your business is operating in remote locations, your employees need to access corporate systems securely no matter what device they are using. By encrypting your remote connections, you can prevent data breaches and ensure your business is compliant with industry standards such as ISO 27001, NIS2 and GDPR. Securing remote access also gives you the flexibility to scale as your business grows, ensuring new workers can seamlessly connect to your systems. 

Our secure remote access also supports third-party vendors and others who may need to access your systems remotely but without compromising your security. 

Ever-changing cyber risk means businesses often end up with multiple cyber security tools performing different tasks in isolation, making it difficult to get a holistic view of the threat landscape. With Marlink’s Unified Threat Management platform—which is available as either fully-/co- or self-managed—you can integrate all your cyber protections into a single platform, helping you seamlessly monitor and secure your IT infrastructure against all potential attack types. 

This provides enhanced and scalable protections for your business-critical systems, while also ensuring uninterrupted network performance, making it easier than ever to manage your cyber defences. 

Not all organisations face the same cyber risks. Energy companies, for example, could be targeted by rogue nation states that want to disrupt a country’s power infrastructure. By contrast, the yachting industry could be more at risk from ransomware attacks that target wealthy individuals. Marlink’s Industry Specific Threat Feed provides actionable intelligence that is tailored to your industry. By aggregating data from across the market globally, we can spot potential issues as they emerge, helping proactively safeguard your systems from impending attacks.

With real-time monitoring, you can instantly block threats, improving your security posture and reducing the risk of any breaches. 

With 90% of cyber-attacks starting with a phishing email, your employees are always your first line of defence against cyber crime. To help with this, our  phishing & awareness programme helps train your staff to identify potential phishing attacks, helping establish a human firewall to keep would-be hackers from gaining access to critical systems.

By raising awareness, you can reduce the risk of staff being exploited by hackers, improving your cyber resilience and compliance. For example, 85% of employees were more likely to recognise a phishing email after completing  our programme, compared to 40% before doing the training. 

Regulatory penalties for data breaches can be severe, no matter how the data is lost—be it an external hack, a bad actor internally or an accidental leak. The EU, for instance, has handed out almost €6bn in fines to companies for data breaches since GDPR came into force. 

The impact is not only financial, it can also severely damage a business’s reputation. Therefore keeping your data secure is critical for business sustainability. By using our data loss prevention tools, you can safeguard customer data or other confidential information such as intellectual property or trade secrets, while also ensuring regulatory compliance. 

The faster you can detect and act on threats, the less risk you have of suffering a major cyber breach. Our Security Operations Centre provides 24/7 cyber protection for your business, ensuring always-on monitoring across your IT infrastructure, alerting you to potential threats and giving you real-time updates on security incidents.  

This can help speed up detection and response times, helping contain attacks before they escalate. Our managed remediation ensures systems can recover quickly, limiting any disruption, while detection rules can be fine-tuned to meet the changing needs of your business. Data-driven insights can also help strengthen your security overtime, maximising your protection. 

Traditional firewalls and anti-virus software are great at keeping known threats contained. For everything else—emerging threats or ones that are already inside your network—you need another line of defence. Our network detection & response tool helps you identify the threats that may have evaded your systems, flagging any suspicious activity or unknown devices that are connected to your network, helping you prevent potential attacks before they can cause any damage. 

By continuously monitoring your network, you can get real-time visibility into what is connected to your systems. This can help you detect threats faster and improve incident response times, providing comprehensive protection for your entire IT infrastructure.

More than 90% of cyber-attacks are targeted at endpoint systems, with hackers looking for vulnerabilities in your servers or employee laptops to steal data or install malware. This is a significant risk for businesses operating in remote locations where employees may be using their own devices to access corporate systems. 

By using our Endpoint Detection & Response tools, you can benefit from real-time AI-driven attack monitoring across all endpoints, safeguarding against operating-tech threats through instant alerts and automated incident response. This can help neutralise any attacks before they have chance to take root. The tools also work in low-bandwidth environments, protecting endpoints in remote locations where connectivity may be less reliable. 

If your cyber security platform is not triggering any risk alerts, that doesn’t mean your systems are safe — it could just mean you need to look harder for hidden threats. Ours threat hunting tool can help you proactively search for and uncover advanced threats that would otherwise remain concealed. Whether it is insider threats, undetected breaches or unknown gaps in your cyber defences, our threat hunting intelligence can help analyse your systems and find hidden risks that have evaded traditional defences. 

This approach helps reduce the amount of time attackers can go unnoticed in your network and improve your cyber resilience by addressing security gaps before they can be exploited. 

Tricking would-be hackers with decoy systems can help trap cyber criminals before they can do any damage to your business. Our deception honeypot solution gives you the time and intelligence to respond to any cyber-attacks, warning you of their presence much like a silent alarm that alerts the police to an intruder. This helps you gain valuable insights about attackers and what they are doing, helping you respond more effectively and keeping your business-critical systems safe. 

This approach adds an extra layer to your cyber security strategy, helping minimise false alarms and only triggering an alert when there is a real threat in progress. 

The pace of digital transformation means your IT infrastructure is constantly changing, with systems updates or upgrades potentially creating new vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that were previously secure. Therefore, identifying these weaknesses before attackers can exploit them is critical. Our threat exposure monitoring tool provides complete mapping of your attack surface and proactively searches for potential chinks in your defences, giving you real-time alerts and actionable insights to protect your infrastructure. 

By continuously monitoring for emerging threats, you can spot potential issues and take swift remedial action before attackers can strike, improving your overall cyber security posture and maintaining regulatory compliance.

This advanced intelligence means you can enhance your threat detection capabilities without having to grow your internal security team, improving cost efficiency and enabling you to make faster and more informed risk decisions. 

Knowing how to respond in the event of a cyber-attack can be the difference between a minor breach or a severe incident. Statistics show that 85% of organisations with a strong recovery plan resume operations within 72 hours of an incident, helping reduce business disruption. Our managed detection & response services provide you with enterprise-grade cyber protection, giving you 24/7 AI-powered security monitoring and expert-led threat response to contain and eliminate any breaches.

Post-incident insights also give you actionable information on who attacked and how, enabling you to take the necessary steps to avoid repeat incidents while ensuring you remain compliant with evolving data regulations. 

A keyway to prevent cyber-attacks from reoccurring is to identify and fix the root cause of the problem. Our incident investigation & forensics tools give you a detailed report of any security breaches, including what data has been lost and whether it is possible to recover that data. This helps improve your cyber resilience, while also ensuring full legal compliance so that any digital forensic work is admissible in court.  

Proper investigation can also help speed up incident response times, helping you analyse the scale of damage and put in measures to better safeguard your infrastructure. 

Recognising that cyber incidents are going to happen is essential to strengthening your security defences. This means monitoring for vulnerabilities as they emerge and quickly fixing any security gaps, reducing your chance of suffering a severe data breach. Our vulnerability management strategy provides a structured framework that helps your business stay ahead of shifting cyber risks by identifying and mitigating emerging threats faster. 

This process helps ensure compliance with stricter data regulations, while also minimising downtime and disruption from any cyber-attacks. This structured approach also provides continuous protection, ensuring you rapid recovery from any cyber incidents and avoiding similar attacks in future.

The speed at which new cyber threats develop means organisations must have a proactive approach to managing cyber risk and avoid being wrong-footed by attackers. Our risk management & assessment framework helps you to better identify risks as they emerge and more accurately evaluate their potential impact on your business. This can help you prioritise what action to take, ensuring the most serious threats are mitigated first. 

By continuously monitoring and assessing the risk landscape, you can adapt to shifting threats in real time based on the likelihood of a breach and how severe the impact would be, protecting your critical assets and maintaining regulatory compliance. 

Increased cyber risk and a stricter data regulation backdrop means organisations need a comprehensive strategy to secure their IT infrastructure in a compliant manner. Our cyber security management programme helps you better implement your cyber risk policies, giving you the flexibility to update security and response plans as business needs and risks evolve.  

Fast-moving regulation also means organisations must stay up to date with changing rules, ensuring you maintain compliance effectively and avoid being hit by any unexpected regulatory penalties.  

A common way for hackers to break into your network is to sneak through a backdoor being used by a third-party vendor that may lack adequate security systems. Our third-party risk management governance tool can help you better control your third-party vendor connections, allowing you to monitor for unauthorised access as well as continuously scan for potential security vulnerabilities that could be exploited. 

This approach helps you reduce cyber security risk stemming from third-party vendors and other partners, ensuring connections are safe while maintaining seamless business operations at all times. 

From ransomware to state-sponsored attacks, the breadth of cyber risk is huge, so knowing where to focus your defences is critical to safeguarding your business from would-be attackers. Our cyber threat analysis tools can help you decipher the biggest risks to your company, enabling you to prioritise threat response and ensure your systems are protected. 

The tools also give you visibility into the evolving threat landscape, helping you anticipate potential attacks and ensure any vulnerabilities are identified and fixed before hackers can seek to exploit them.
