VTalos
Central Vessel USB Protection Unit
Stopping USB-borne cyber threats before they reach your vessel’s networks and critical systems.
Designed for Maritime Operations
Certified Cyber Security for USB Threat Control Onboard
USB devices remain the most common and least controlled entry point for cyber incidents onboard vessels. Even with advanced network protection, air-gapped systems and strict procedures, USB media continue to pose a critical risk.
VTalos introduces the first Central Vessel USB Protection Unit in the maritime industry, providing a controlled, certified and auditable way to scan, clean and regulate all USB file transfers before they interact with onboard IT, OT and ICS systems.
Designed specifically for maritime operations and certified for cyber security by ABS, VTalos transforms USB handling from a human risk into a controlled security process.
VTalos by IQ Solutions
VTalos is not another software policy or crew guideline.
It is a purpose-built central unit that physically and logically controls how USB files enter vessel environments.
By introducing a single, enforceable control point, VTalos transforms USB handling from an unmanaged risk into a standardized, repeatable and auditable security process across the vessel.
Why USBs Remain the Biggest Cyber Risk Onboard
Despite advanced network defenses, firewalls and even air-gapped environments, USB devices continue to be the most common cause of onboard cyber incidents.
USBs arrive from multiple uncontrolled sources — vendors, technicians, shore staff and third parties — making their content impossible to verify without a dedicated control mechanism.
VTalos addresses this gap by introducing a physical and logical control point, ensuring that only clean, verified files are allowed to interact with vessel systems.
