Cyber-Resilience in Shipping and Maritime Industry.
Cyber resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber-attacks. It helps an organisation protect against cyber risks, defend against and limit the severity of attacks, and ensure its continued survival despite an attack.
Shipping is a USD 4 trillion global industry responsible for transporting 80% of the world s energy, commodities and goods. Being a lucrative and dominant sector, the industry has been vulnerable to cyber-attacks and a hot favourite of cyber criminals. With the advent of newer technology ships are increasingly using systems that rely on digitisation, digitalisation, integration, and automation, which call for cyber risk management on board.Posted On:29-Jul-2020
