Cybersecurity is a key aspect of Vessel Insight. Access to the service is limited to authenticated and authorized end users. Vessel Insight uses Kognifai ID for providing user authentication through federation with Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) for single sign -on scenarios. Azure AD is a broadly used and highly secure framework for authenticating users, which provides configurable controls for accessing the service, e.g. Multi-Factor Authentication.
Further details on Cyber Security and Vessel Insight are available in the Trust Center. Questions and concerns regarding security and privacy can be directed to trust@kongsbergdigital.com
Customer specific services
The Vessel Insight service is delivered with a pre-defined set of features, providing instant value and short time-to-market. However, if customizations are needed beyond the standard service, Kongsberg Digital can offer a highly professional team to accommodate the needs. Onboarding to this offer is subject to agreement in a case-by-case manner.
As a general statement, it is correct. However, there might be instances in which specific data will only be made available if there is hardware on board. [JP1]
Also, it is possible to receive “automatic” data from third parties via API. Not sure if you want to add that here.
Maybe close this one a bit so customer dont get the impression that this is always available [JL4]
