This agreement is a direct response to the rising needs for Maritime Cyber Security, especially in fulfilment of ISM codes of onshore and offshore facilities.  

This agreement will tie up BVS’ global cybersecurity expertise  and deep maritime industry knowledge with Athena Dynamics’ credentials and best practices in CII protection.

This is made possible with the group’s strong involvement thus far in various initiatives from electrification, digitalization to cyber security in a highly practical approach.”

Ken Soh, CEO of Athena Dynamics, added: “Being a pure-play cyber security consulting arm of BH Global group which is fully independent of any state-level relationship, we are well poised to assist our customers with BVS. This, coupled with our years of experiences in on-shore and off-shore works, including those fulfilled under the difficult covid-19 situation, would value-add strongly to maritime markets, delivering fitting actionable items at value price points.”
