🔒 Security & Reliability
CommBox Edge
Secure Suite
A comprehensive onboard cybersecurity solution built on Cisco Talos and SNORT — detecting, preventing and logging threats in real time.
🔍
Detection
Monitors all incoming and outgoing traffic. Built on Cisco Talos and SNORT for industry-leading threat intelligence and pattern recognition.
🛡️
Prevention
Responds in real time — blocking or quarantining malware, viruses, denial of service and ping-of-death attacks automatically.
📋
Logging
Captures and reports detailed threat logs including syslogs/rsyslogs to an offsite SIEM/SOC for full audit trail and compliance.
⚡ High Availability Configuration
Two synchronized units — one active Primary, one standby Secondary. If the Primary goes down, the Secondary instantly takes over with identical settings. Fully cloud-managed at a fraction of traditional redundancy costs.
- Seamless automatic failover — zero manual intervention
- Fully synchronized config between both units
- Cloud-managed — provision and monitor from anywhere
- Far more affordable than traditional hardware redundancy
- Ideal for commercial vessels and mission-critical remote sites
✅ Key Benefits
- Enhanced Reliability — nonstop connectivity with intelligent failover
- Operational Efficiency — simplified network admin, reduced IT burden
- Performance Prioritization — business-critical systems always online
- Scalable — from single vessels to full fleet deployments
