Identifying Encrypted Data
"We are already seeing the benefits of running our satellite services through the INTEGRA Network and can now identify the source of encrypted data being used on our vessels from any type of device, mobile, tablet or laptop"
- Richard Marshall, International Communications Manager at SEACOR Marine International.
INTEGRA Cybershield
The INTEGRA Network has multiple layers of cybersecurity controls to maximise protection against threats.
INTEGRA Cybershield | Multi-layered Cyber Security
INTEGRA Cybershield
Ships are increasingly using systems that rely on digitisation, integration, and automation, which call for cyber risk management on board.
Technology continues to develop, information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) onboard ships are being networked together – and more frequently connected to the internet. This brings the greater risk of unauthorised access or malicious attacks to ships’ systems and networks.

Cyber Risk Management
Bring-your-own-devices is increasingly becoming the norm for a modern-day seafarer.
The crew are likely to utilise more than one device onboard the ship or vessel – meaning smartphones and tablets are today's companion on their journey. Not only do these applications consume data and affect bandwidth efficiency, but these undetectable applications pose a potentially significant threat to cybersecurity.
With INTEGRA Services you can identify the applications accessing your satellite bandwidth and block them at an application level to remove the threat.
Unrivalled Network Security
"Traditional firewalls are no longer effective at blocking the growing number of encrypted applications. INTEGRA See & See+ enables visibility of undetectable applications, even if the application is encrypted, and how much data they are consuming. All these applications pose a potentially significant threat to your cybersecurity"
- Duncan Hardy, Group Technology and Infrastructure Manager at Applied Satellite Technology Ltd.
INTEGRA See
INTEGRA See and See+ provide precise, real-time information of IP traffic at an application level, including encrypted applications.
INTEGRA See | Real-time Bandwidth Visibility
INTEGRA See
INTEGRA See is exclusively available to all AST customers and provides precise information of IP traffic initiated from the satellite terminal at the point it reaches our ground-based INTEGRA Network. Providing you full visibility of the traffic at an application level, including encrypted applications.
This enhanced visibility of the applications consuming data and bandwidth highlights the top 10 individual applications by usage, giving the users the ability to monitor the volume of traffic used by each application at any point from anywhere in the world.
INTEGRA See+
INTEGRA See+ provides enhanced visibility of applications being accessed by devices on your satellite service and gives access to three months of historical usage data, alongside the benefits of INTEGRA See.

Application Control
"INTEGRA See identified that Spotify had used the Wi-Fi connection on the customer's device to update without the customer knowing, using 133.88MB of their 150MB plan in less than thirty minutes. To prevent any further occurrences whilst in a more vulnerable situation in the outback, the customer subscribed to INTEGRA Control to control the applications used over their satellite connection"
