Windward Launches AI Tool to Protect Global Maritime Infrastructure

Windward has launched its Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection solution, an innovative AI-powered tool aimed at safeguarding essential maritime infrastructure such as undersea cables and pipelines. This solution addresses the increasing threats to these critical assets, which are vital for global connectivity and energy supply, by employing real-time monitoring, behavioral pattern detection, and predictive analytics. Recent incidents, including attacks on submarine cables and oil pipelines, underscore the urgency of enhanced security measures. The platform is designed for various stakeholders, including government agencies, telecommunication firms, and energy companies, facilitating proactive risk assessment and incident investigation support. Windward's solution specifically targets threats from deep-sea research operations, shallow-water sabotage, and attacks on offshore rigs. With over 100 cable faults reported annually, many of which are suspected to be intentional, the need for this technology is more pressing than ever.
