As hackers become even more sophisticated in their tactics, it’s inevitable that maritime cyber-attacks against OT on ships are becoming the norm rather than the exception. The stats speak for themselves:

Of respondents, 77% view cyber-attacks as a high or medium risk to their organizations, yet only 64% said their organization has a business continuity plan in place to follow in the event of a cyber incident. But only 24% claimed it was tested every three months, and only 15% said that it was tested every six to 12 months. Only 2 of 5 respondents said that their organization protects vessels from operational technology (OT) cyber threats, and some respondents went so far as to describe their company policy to OT cyber risk as “careless.”

It’s time for the maritime industry to take a look at every aspect of their ship operations to ensure they’re protected and resilient against these growing threats.

In this eBook, we will help you navigate the ins and outs of maritime cybersecurity, address cybersecurity challenges and compliance considerations, and get you geared up to establish your maritime cybersecurity action plan.
