Cyber Security Awareness in the Maritime Domain – The Human Factor

Contingency planning in the digital era.

Deutch-Norwegische Chamber of Commerce is arranging a maritime Cyber Security Awareness seminar in Oslo, on 30. April. To sign up or to read more, press here!

The shipping industry has entered a new era. The industry is becoming more digital. Automation and connectivity are other trends that put ships, cargo, humans and your business reputation at risk. Changing technology and risks require different and new answers, especially in the maritime industry. Just like land-based organizations, the crew onboard every ship needs to be aware of potential cyber risks, how to avoid them and how to handle cyberattacks. The challenge: Users are the weakest link in every security chain. Moreover, responsibility and liability are unclear in the field of cyber security.

Senior management must take responsibility to develop cyber risk awareness at all levels and departments, and ensure their crew follow an effective cyber risk management regime. A holistic approach starts with people’s knowledge, behavior and mindset, and contains clear policies, procedures and assessments. If you don’t have these measures in place, and don’t know where to start and how to do this, this workshop is for you.

The event has a practical approach and will provide an arena to discuss measures and contingency planning with your peers and experts in the fields of cyber security, as well as navigation and positioning.
