AI Solution Launched for Protecting Maritime Infrastructure Against Growing Threats

Windward has introduced a new AI-powered solution called Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection to safeguard essential maritime infrastructure from increasing threats. This solution specifically targets three main threats: deep-sea research operations, shallow-water sabotage, and attacks on offshore oil rigs and platforms. By monitoring high-risk vessels, the AI system can identify suspicious activities such as rogue state research vessels in deep waters or shadow fleet vessels near oil rigs.

Utilizing historical data, behavioral patterns, and predictive analytics, Windward’s platform offers real-time monitoring alerts through the integrated Dataminr feed. This proactive approach enables users to assess and mitigate potential threats before they escalate. The solution combines Windward’s proprietary cable layer mapping and user data with AI-based behavioral pattern detection, catering to a wide range of organizations from government agencies to energy companies seeking to identify, monitor, and mitigate risks.

Furthermore, the Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection solution supports post-investigations by providing evidence to insurers and law enforcement agencies. The launch of this tool comes in response to recent suspected attacks on undersea cables and oil pipelines, highlighting the vulnerability of global energy and data networks. This underscores the critical importance of securing maritime infrastructure to prevent disruptions and ensure the safety of these vital networks.
