Different roles will require different training as they work around varying areas of operations, while there are general rules everyone should follow it is important all roles are properly considered when training so that they are equipped to handle their activities.
A crew and port team who are equipped with the relevant skills and knowledge to best combat any cyber incidents will help to further reinforce your operations’ cyber security.
Human fault can essentially offer malicious attackers free access to maritime systems and software.
Some of the common mistakes that could lead to an incident are as follows:
An incident has the potential to compromise sensitive information, or worse, can have an effect on a vessel’s operating features, putting lives at potential risk.
The costs and damages of poor cyber security maintenance can be much graver than a regular audit and role-specific training for port and ship crew.
A trained crew will be aware of the pitfalls that need to be avoided and will know the cyber security considerations relevant to their area of responsibility.
This will lead to an overall more well-equipped crew that understands the dangers and have the ability to work together as a second line of defence should an incident occur.
The roles that require training cover both onshore and offshore operations as attacks and incidents can take place in ports or on vessels.
As a result, it is important that all of the following roles are offered adequate training that will assist them with proper cyber security practice and the ability to identify and minimise the risk of an incident;
Our team has extensive experience in maritime cyber security and have trained crew members who fill a wide variety of roles on how to improve their cyber security practices.
We understand what training is needed for each unique role and will make sure that your team is well equipped to work with any systems implemented.
We will also ensure that they know what to look for when and how to handle any potential breaches before they result in a full-scale incident.
