Global marine insurer NorthStandard has joined forces with SGM Technology to provide a cutting-edge solution for combating GPS jamming and spoofing incidents. The partnership offers NorthStandard Members preferential access to the PntGuard™ platform, which authenticates ship position signals in real-time at a 15% discounted rate.

This new collaboration aligns with NorthStandard's commitment to deliver innovative Loss Prevention solutions that address the evolving challenges faced by the maritime industry. PntGuard complements NorthStandard's GetSET! portfolio of Safety & Efficiency Technologies (SET), which utilize digitalization to enhance maritime operations' safety and efficiency.

The growing threat of GNSS jamming and spoofing puts safety at risk, as these incidents can interrupt, impair, or invalidate the critical information needed for navigation and situational awareness. By leveraging Naltec's APNT solution, PntGuard delivers continuous, authenticated, and reliable ship positions independent of GPS, effectively detecting spoofing and overcoming jamming.

Proven by commercial and defense organizations for over a decade, this system ensures early warning of interference events, maintaining navigational resilience and situational awareness, and thus reducing Members' exposure to navigation-related incidents.
