Maritime is a high-value attack surface with legacy systems, remote operations, and crews who need connectivity running alongside OT networks that can't go down. Navarino, founded in 1996 and now operating from 11 global offices, builds the tech stack that sits between those realities - connectivity infrastructure, cybersecurity platforms, and IT solutions purpose-built for vessels. They've deployed across more than 13,000 ships, which means their security and networking tooling has to work in environments where a misconfigured firewall isn't just a compliance issue; it's a physical safety problem.
The company's cybersecurity work focuses on securing vessel IT infrastructure - hardening endpoints, monitoring network traffic, and managing the growing attack surface that comes with modern shipboard connectivity (including Starlink deployments). Their R&D team builds platforms specifically architected for the constraints of maritime operations: intermittent bandwidth, distributed crews, and the convergence of IT and OT systems that security teams elsewhere get to keep separated.
Navarino is certified as a Great Place to Work and operates a 24/7 support model across their technical domains. The team works across connectivity infrastructure, cybersecurity, crew welfare solutions, and vessel IT, with a culture built around collaboration and technical rigor. They position themselves as an extension of customers' internal teams rather than a remote vendor - relevant when you're securing assets that are, quite literally, in the middle of the ocean.
