Windward has announced the launch of its Critical Maritime Infrastructure Protection system, an AI-powered application designed to assist users in protecting essential maritime infrastructure including cables, pipelines, and rigs against growing threats.
The system combines integrated user data with AI-based behavioural pattern detection to identify, monitor, and mitigate risks before they cause disruption. It also supports post-investigations, providing evidence to insurers and law enforcement agencies.
High-risk vessels can be monitored to flag suspicious activities, with the application accessing historical data, behavioural patterns, and predictive analytics to create real-time monitoring alerts, powered by the integrated Dataminr feed, enabling users to proactively assess and mitigate threats.
MAI Expert, Windward’s virtual subject matter expert, is also available to provide risk analysis and context.
Organisations can add their own proprietary data, set customised risk parameters, and define alerts based on their specific infrastructure needs.
“The economic and geopolitical implications of undersea infrastructure sabotage are staggering,” said Ami Daniel, Co-Founder and CEO of Windward.
“Beyond the immediate disruptions, national stability and financial implications for businesses relying on cables for connectivity and operational continuity are immense. While recent incidents remain under investigation, the growing risks—whether accidental or intentional—underscore the urgent need for advanced monitoring.”
