Cybersecurity in Maritime Industry
- Printer-friendly version
Brief: According to the IMO Guideline MSC 96/4/1 dated on February 4th, 2016, measures to enhance maritime security were introduced.
The course is designed to develop understanding & awareness of key aspects of cybersecurity in response to the vulnerability of ships to cyber risks and is not intended to give technical guidance for the ship or personnel on board.
Based on a risk-based approach to cybersecurity, shipowners and operators are advised on how to assess their operations and develop procedures and actions to maintain the security of cyber systems on board.
The course will support the company in establishing procedures, plans and instructions, including checklists as appropriate, for relevant key shipboard operations
