Use of connected technologies like the cloud have brought innumerable benefits to a wide range of industries in terms of cost savings, efficiency and flexibility. However, the increasing complexity of IT networks, architectures and infrastructures poses new risks to the maritime industry.

Broader connectivity creates more vulnerabilities, and more points of attack. It is becoming harder than ever to even gain a comprehensive picture of all the devices and networks connected to your business at any given time – let alone to police them.

To make things worse, cyber criminals are becoming increasingly aware of the potential entry points to make significant money from the vulnerabilities in widely connected architectures. At the same time, as common methods of attack (DDoS attacks, ransomware, etc.) are becoming more sophisticated, criminals are also constantly developing new ways of penetrating networks and hacking devices.

Potential risks of a cyber attack on a vessel include: The interruption of operations Loss of business-sensitive information Insurance cover – impact on premiums of lack of cybersecurity measures Reputational damage Loss of customer and / or industry concidence Severe financial loss / penalties Privacy impact – personal data protecton legislation will see companies eed for failing to secure employee information

The threat landscape is constantly evolving and with this in mind, ship management companies and operators need to approach cybersecurity in a holistic way.

NSSLGlobal offers a number of solutions that provide cybersecurity assurance to support your road to digitalisaton, freeing up your time to focus on the vessel priorities that are core to your business.
