What's Included With Cybersecurity
Big Transactions Attract Attention
Yacht sales, charter deposits, parts orders and freight payments often move large sums internationally, arranged by email. Criminals insert themselves into those conversations with lookalike domains and hijacked accounts.
What We Put in Place
- Email security with impersonation and lookalike-domain detection
- Multi-factor authentication on every account
- Payment verification procedures written down and practiced
- EDR and 24/7 monitoring
- Secure devices for travel
- Training focused on payment fraud

How Payment Fraud Happens in Marine Deals
A criminal registers a domain one letter off from a broker, shipyard or supplier, or takes over a real mailbox, and quietly watches a deal progress. When a deposit or payment is due, new wiring instructions arrive in the same thread. Verifying every banking change by phone with a known contact, and filtering look-alike domains, stops most of these attempts.
The Technical Side
- Look-alike domain detection and alerts for new domains similar to yours and your partners’
- Anti-impersonation policies for owners, brokers and finance staff
- DMARC, SPF and DKIM at enforcement on your domain
- Conditional access with risky sign-in detection for international logins
- EDR with 24/7 SOC on every device
- Phishing simulations themed around invoices and wire requests

Cyber Security Solutions in Fort Lauderdale: Common Questions
Why are marine and logistics businesses targeted?
They handle large deposits, international payments and shipping documents, often by email, which makes payment fraud attractive to criminals.
How do you stop fraudulent payment instructions?
Email security, impersonation protection, MFA and a rule to verify any banking change by phone using a known number.
Do you secure staff who travel internationally?
Yes, with managed devices, MFA, encryption and sign-in monitoring.
Can you monitor for domains that imitate ours?
Yes. We watch for newly registered domains similar to yours and alert you so you can warn clients and partners.
What should we tell clients about wire fraud?
Tell them you will never change payment instructions by email alone, and that they should call a known number to confirm. Put this in your email signature and contracts.
What if a payment has already been sent to a fraudster?
Contact your bank immediately to request a recall, then report it to law enforcement and your insurer. Speed matters. We help secure accounts and investigate how it happened.
