IQ SOLUTIONS becomes the first cybersecurity-focused partner in RightShip's Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program

As shipping becomes increasingly connected, cybersecurity is no longer solely an IT concern—it is an essential component of maritime safety, operational resilience and business continuity. As vessels adopt more digital technologies and greater ship-to-shore connectivity, the ability to identify, manage and reduce cyber risk is becoming critical to the industry's shared journey toward Zero Harm.

RightShip is pleased to welcome IQ SOLUTIONS as the newest organisation to join the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program.

As the first cybersecurity-focused organisation to join the program, IQ SOLUTIONS brings specialised expertise in maritime ICT infrastructure, vessel connectivity and cyber resilience. Its inclusion reflects the growing recognition that secure and resilient digital operations are becoming increasingly important to the safe and sustainable operation of modern vessels.

Addressing a growing maritime challenge

The maritime industry is experiencing a rapid digital transformation. Greater connectivity between vessels, shore-based teams and operational systems is creating new opportunities to improve efficiency, visibility and decision-making across fleets.

At the same time, increased digitalisation introduces new challenges. Cyber threats can impact critical onboard systems, disrupt operations and create broader safety, environmental and commercial risks. As a result, maritime stakeholders are placing greater emphasis on strengthening digital resilience and ensuring cyber risk is effectively managed alongside traditional operational risks.

Strengthening resilience across connected vessels

IQ SOLUTIONS is a specialised provider of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) services for the maritime industry, helping shipowners and operators improve vessel connectivity, cybersecurity and digital resilience.

Through solutions including VCell and VTalos, IQ SOLUTIONS supports maritime organisations in improving visibility across onboard systems, reducing cyber risk and maintaining secure vessel operations.

VCell provides a secure and unified vessel ICT infrastructure that supports network segmentation, centralised management and secure ship-to-shore communications. By helping operators gain greater visibility and control across onboard systems, it supports safer and more efficient vessel operations.

Complementing this capability, VTalos helps address one of the most common cyber threat vectors in maritime environments: removable media. The solution enables secure management of USB devices and file transfers, helping reduce the risk of malware entering vessel systems while supporting essential operational workflows onboard.

Together, these solutions support a more proactive approach to cyber risk management, helping operators strengthen resilience while navigating the increasing complexity of connected maritime operations.

Bringing cybersecurity into the Zero Harm conversation

As vessels become increasingly dependent on digital systems, cyber resilience is becoming an important consideration alongside traditional safety and operational risk management.

The addition of IQ SOLUTIONS to the Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program reflects the growing importance of cybersecurity within the broader maritime safety landscape. By helping organisations improve visibility, control and governance across onboard systems, IQ SOLUTIONS supports more informed decision-making and a stronger foundation for safe and reliable operations.

Its expertise contributes to wider industry efforts to reduce risk, improve resilience and support better outcomes for people, assets and the environment.

Supporting the industry's journey toward Zero Harm

The Zero Harm Innovation Partners Program brings together organisations from across the maritime supply chain whose technologies, services and expertise contribute to a safer, more sustainable and socially conscious industry. Through collaboration, knowledge sharing and stronger connections between innovators and maritime stakeholders, the program supports the development and adoption of solutions that advance the industry's journey toward Zero Harm.

As part of the program, IQ SOLUTIONS joins a collaborative network working closely with RightShip to support maritime stakeholders in managing evolving risks and improving operational outcomes.

The partnership also marks an important milestone for the program. As its first cybersecurity-focused partner, IQ SOLUTIONS brings dedicated cyber expertise into the Zero Harm Innovation Partners network, reinforcing the role that secure digital operations play in supporting safer and more resilient shipping.

Together, RightShip and IQ SOLUTIONS will continue supporting the maritime industry's efforts to reduce risk, strengthen resilience and advance the shared journey toward Zero Harm.
