Delivering secure, end-to-end reliable, high-performance satellite communications through AST INTEGRA Network. Your maritime business can use the INTEGRA Network to access industry-leading insight into satellite subscriptions.
The global IP network operates at 99.999% availability, with minimal risk of downtime. This is because of the high quality of the INTEGRA Network that utilises best-in-class data centres and carrier-grade leased lines for ultimate reliability.
Ships are increasingly using systems that rely on digitisation, integration, and automation, which call for cyber risk management on board. This is a result of the increase of threats faced due to evolving technology and techniques.
The INTEGRA Network has multiple layers of cybersecurity controls to maximise protection against threats. With an advanced firewall, web filtering and intrusion prevention, you'll have the means to stop threats that can be costly.
Sometimes security can be compromised from crew members downloading unprotected applications. INTEGRA Cybershield allows you to block these applications to help protect your crew.
