Cyber Security Cell (CSC)

CSC was established in 2018 at Naval Headquarters with the aim to
protect Information and Information Communication Technology (ICT)
assets from multi-faceted cyber threats by monitoring, reviewing and
analysing the security infrastructure and procedures adopted within SLN
continuously and to respond instantly for any sort of breaches in cyber
security in accordance with Information Security Policy. CSC will conduct
inspections/audits on data centres, data network infrastructures and
end user devices for identification of possible vulnerabilities to ensure
their security controls are in par with policy and standards defined by
SLN.

Directorate of Naval Design (DND)

DND was established in 2018 at Welisara, Colombo with the intent of
undertaking conceptual ship design by year 2025 to uplift the operational
versatility of SLN and to promote Sri Lanka as a significant maritime
nation. DND is expected to be a leading professional unit in ship design in
Sri Lanka by 2025. DND is to ensure radical improvement by technology
transfer to gain naval ship designing capabilities for its staff, building
professionalism while yielding maximum economy of effort for public
resources. DND is to achieve monitory benefits by optimising naval
architecture designs whilst purchasing naval vessels for SLN from foreign
navies/ship builders. The Directorate is still in its developmental stage
and has plotted a detailed development plan, identifying key objectives
to be achieved each year by fulfilling infrastructural necessities.
