Incidents could span from unintentional lapses in practice which allow vital systems to fail but more often as a result of malicious attacks seeking to steal data, information and assets. Oil tankers, in particular, are targeted by attackers due to their valuable assets so it is important to have a reliable cyber security system that covers both the software being used and the crew who are using it.
Oil tankers are a constant risk of attack due to the valuable resources that they carry. Poor cyber security practice can lead to the loss of assets and resources with financial systems being targeted.
A loss of financial resources could be incredibly damaging for an oil tanker company as on top of the lost income their reputation will be tarnished as their cyber security measures are unreliable. The crew may also be at risk with the more significant danger with a seizure of cyber-related operating systems.
Some of these systems may include:
Cyber security services will make sure that none of the systems on an oil tanker are outdated or obsolete through rigorous testing and regular audits. A well-designed framework will not only keep systems to the standard of the several maritime and cyber specific legislation laid out by governing bodies.
Additionally, a thorough cyber security service will make sure all crew members are trained to a standard where the likelihood of human fault is minimised. With proper training, a crew will be able to act as the first line of defence against attackers and invaders.
Maritime secure offers all of this, with services that cover you from your first audit to the training of crews to work seamlessly with a properly integrated cyber security framework.
We can offer a fantastic service that covers all of the essential cyber security requirements including:
With experience in the cyber security industry – specifically for maritime operations- we know what it takes to reinforce and upgrade your oil tanker’s safety.
We will make sure that no systems are compromised or obsolete, keeping all operations up to date, and will additionally ensure that the oil tanker’s crew are offered role-specific cyber security training.
