CyberKeel acquired by Improsec ApS

In 2014 I co-founded maritime cyber security company CyberKeel which was a pioneer in maritime cyber security at a point in time where the industry mainly did not believe this was a problem. Since then times have changed, and cyber security is now firmly on the agenda in the industry - albeit there is still a long way to go in many cases.

Today CyberKeel has been acquired by the Danish cyber security company Improsec ApS.

In recent years CyberKeel has, increasingly in collaboration with Improsec, provided cyber security advisory and technical services to shipping lines, maritime insurers and government entities. Security assessments have been provided both on the landside as well as on vessels.

Improsec was founded in 2015 and has built a team of highly qualified technical specialists providing in-depth technical cyber security tests and services for both private companies and public organizations spanning from individual businesses’ cyber risks to assessments of risks to critical national infrastructure.

In this connection CEO and founder of Improsec, Jakob Heidelberg, says: “The consolidation of CyberKeel into Improsec will strengthen the services we provide to the maritime sector. We have already provided leading technical expertise for the maritime sector and look forward to expand our services and engagements even further.”

I will continue in the role as Maritime Security Advisor at Improsec, leading engagements within the Maritime sector.
