We are pleased to introduce the A9X CORE Edition, a new option for operators who want essential vessel endpoint protection with a focused feature set and a lower entry cost.
CORE is designed for straightforward onboard deployment, much like Standard. The difference is not in installation complexity, but in scope: CORE is built around the essential controls, without the more advanced management and reporting capabilities included in Standard.
Why CORE
For many fleets, the priority is clear: deploy practical protections, keep the feature set focused, and avoid paying for capabilities that are not yet needed. CORE is designed for exactly that use case.
It delivers the essentials of A9X Vessel Endpoint Protection while maintaining a clear upgrade path to Standard when broader management, reporting, and fleet-wide visibility become important.
What this means
With CORE, customers can start with an essential set of protections and select the modules that match their operational requirements.
CORE is also more cost-effective because it does not require the A9X Cyber Detective platform. That makes it a strong fit for operators who want practical protection without the additional platform layer.
Standard remains available for operators who need more advanced capabilities, including enhanced auditing, deeper management, and shore-side oversight through A9X Cyber Detective.
