An up-to-date insight into the cyber-threat landscape is imperative to protect our business processes and data from cyber-attacks, damage or security breaches. The Digital Ship Maritime Cyber Resilience Forum Rotterdam seeks to provide just that.
Ship operators need to analyse potential risks, explore the legal aspects, and incorporate cyber resilience into their daily operations in order to organise business operations to reduce cyber vulnerability.
In this era of the connected ship, with developments such as the cloud, IoT, electronic data exchange in the logistic chain and electronic navigation systems, we increasingly rely on technology, which makes cyber resilience business-critical. So, how do we embed this into the maritime organisation? How do we incorporate cyber security into all our systems and operations? And if incidents occur, how do we respond and make the necessary contingency or recovery plans?
The human factor is often regarded the weakest link. Ship operators need to increase cyber awareness among both personnel in the office and onboard.
The Digital Ship Maritime Cyber Resilience Forum Rotterdam 2018 will look into best practices, including ways to mobilise internal commitment, set up training and incorporate cyber awareness into procedures.
The Forum takes place 15 February at the Hilton Rotterdam.
