Incidents have long-reaching effects that can put assets and even lives at risk so ensuring all sectors from the ship crews to the port agents are doing what they can to avoid incidents makes for much more robust security systems.
Ports and subsequently port agents are becoming more reliant on systems and software, while more practical than their predecessors, these systems are more susceptible to an incident that could have grave consequences.
With international access to ports, there can be a serious effect on trade should an incident occur.
Port agents have a key role in minimising the chances of an incident occurring, the risks that they could potentially face are as follows.
With these far-reaching risks, it is essential that port agents are trained to the highest standard and can identify any dangers and combat them before they can amount to an incident.
Training will allow port agents to not only improve their cyber security practices, but it will also equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify any issues within systems that may result in a breach or incident.
Good training will allow them to seamlessly integrate their training into their everyday activities and will be well acquainted with the practices relevant to their specific area of work. The different areas include:
With proper training, port agents will know when systems require an update and will help reinforce overall cyber security of your operations.
We offer role-specific training that will help your team contribute to a robust and reliable cyber security system that is able to monitor itself.
Our team has years worth of experience in maritime specific training for cyber security and will be able to provide fantastic insight for port agents and what they must do to follow best practice.
If you would like to talk to a member of the maritime secure team about any role-specific training, general training, or any otherwise enquiries, please feel free to contact us.
