We'll be joining more than 7,000 professionals from across the global connectivity and digital infrastructure ecosystem at ITW 2026.
Starboard's platform transforms billions of data points into one verified view — giving operators the visibility to protect critical infrastructure before incidents escalate.
ITW sits at the intersection of connectivity, digital infrastructure, and subsea — which is where Starboard operates. If you work with subsea cables or depend on them, let's connect for a demo in National Harbor.
Kevin DeBartolomeo will be available for 30-minute platform demo’s across the three main conference days.
Here is what he'll be showing:
• Real-time vessel monitoring — live AIS and satellite data overlaid on subsea cable corridors, with automated alerts for anomalous or high-risk behaviour
• Dark vessel detection — multi-source satellite fusion to identify non-reporting vessels operating near critical cable infrastructure
• Grey-zone threat analysis — behavioural scoring and pattern recognition to surface vessels of concern before an incident occurs
• Route risk and business continuity intelligence — coverage across global cable systems to support planning, threat assessment, and defensible decision-making.

Cable Risk Intelligence Quarterly:
A new quarterly risk index from Peter Harvey assessing 25 cable landing zones globally. Five zones are currently rated extreme. 55% of planned new cable crossings land in high‑ or extreme‑risk zones.
Cable sensing (DAS and SOP) live in Starboard:
After a successful trial with Tampnet, DAS, SOP, and vessel behaviour intelligence are now integrated and operational in a single view. Analysts can see fibre-sensing detections and vessel behaviour together, instead of switching between disconnected tools.
Vessel risk alerts in Ciena’s Navigator:
Starboard’s AI‑driven vessel risk alerts are live in Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite inside Southern Cross’s Network Operations Centre, reducing time to assess vessel-related faults from 25 minutes to three.
Ports, offshore energy facilities, and subsea cables face mounting risks—from anchor strikes and accidental interference to deliberate sabotage. Infrastructure operators need intelligence that goes beyond visibility, enabling them to prevent disruption before it happens.
Reveal conflicts, risks, and opportunities of an area for the planning and operation of offshore infrastructure. Historic vessel traffic in an area relating to fishing, recreational, and commercial activity, and a time-dependent met-ocean layer provide navigational patterns.
Analyse vessel activity over months or years to quantify human activity in development zones and mitigate future risks.
Get notified in real-time by customisable alerts when vessels posing a potential risk enter a geofenced area. Starboard's customisable alert system allows you to define specific criteria and receive real-time notifications when potential threats arise. Ensure continuous vigilance and respond swiftly to developing situations, minimising risks and protecting your valuable assets.
Set alerts for when vessels travel at a speed. This could indicate anchor drag, fishing vessels using bottom trawling equipment, or suspicious loitering activity.
Using full temporal resolution AIS data from terrestrial, satellite and vessel-borne receivers, investigators can view precise locations and movements of vessels in the vicinity of the damage. Vessels of interest can be tagged, alerted upon, and tracked globally in real time.
A vessel at anchor is dragged into a cable exclusion zone under strong westerly winds. Starboard can alert users of such cases in real time.
