Rakuten Maritime Expands Cybersecurity Capabilities with New Partnerships

On April 27, 2026, Rakuten Symphony announced the expansion of its Rakuten Maritime cybersecurity platform through partnerships with Cydome Security Ltd. and Lattice Inc. These collaborations aim to enhance cybersecurity for both new and existing vessels by addressing two critical challenges: protecting operational technology (OT) in existing ships and integrating cybersecurity into ship design using AI. Cydome will provide real-time threat detection and risk management for existing fleets, while Lattice will automate ship design processes to minimize operational risks. The partnerships are in response to new regulations, including IACS UR E26 and E27, which mandate stringent cybersecurity measures for newly constructed vessels starting July 1, 2024. This expansion is expected to accelerate Rakuten Maritime's growth in the global shipping market and improve compliance with evolving maritime cybersecurity standards.

Key Points: • Rakuten Maritime partners with Cydome and Lattice to enhance cybersecurity for vessels. • Focus on protecting existing ships and integrating cybersecurity into ship design. • New regulations (IACS UR E26/E27) require compliance for ships built after July 1, 2024.
