It is key to identify potential threats to be able to combat them, be it through software upgrades or training that will help cargo ship crews practice cyber security to a high standard. Maritime Secure offers end-to-end cyber security services that will allow those in charge of operations to rest assured the best maritime-specific cyber security measures have been put in place in order to safeguard their assets and resources.
Cargo ships are at risk of both operational and informational systems being attacked or invaded.
Due to the nature of cargo ships and the valuable assets that they may be carrying, they could find themselves targeted by malicious actors.
Poor cyber security practices could not only put the cargo and potentially financial assets at risk but there is also the danger of cyber-related operational equipment being attacked, which may put the crew on board in danger.
It is important that those in charge are aware of the most pertinent risks in order to act accordingly with strong cyber security infrastructure and vessel-wide training to ensure the proper practice when using cyber-related equipment and software.
Risks that cargo ships may face include:
Cyber security can help cargo ships in several ways, from fantastic resources that help identify threats to a better understanding and quality of practice from the crew that will be able to act as the first line of defence against any potential incidents.
Services that include regular audits and testing will be able to identify when the software or operating systems require an upgrade or replacement to further bolster security.
A properly implemented cyber security design architecture that has been tailored to meet the requirements of maritime and cyber security regulators.
A high standard of practice in line with these guidelines will make sure that attacks are unlikely to occur and everyone on a vessel will know how to minimise the likelihood as much as possible.
We offer sector specific services that take into consideration the unique challenges that cargo ships may face.
Our service is extensive and will allow for regular testing to find any potential weak points to training so that crews can work in collaboration with our cyber security architecture as the first line of defence against malicious attacks.
Our services are maritime-specific and we have extensive experience working with different sectors within the industry.
