Cyber Security Awareness Training is the process of educating crew and staff to understand, identify, and avoid cyber threats. An effective cyber security awareness training program addresses the cybersecurity mistakes that crew and staff are vulnerable to when using email and the internet. The ultimate goal is to prevent or mitigate harm—to both the organisation and its stakeholders—and reduce the human element cyber risk.
IMO Guidelines May 2021 highlight that “Regulations and laws are being brought in that will require owners, operators and managers to consider cyber risks, such as the IMO Guidelines on Maritime Cyber Risk Management (ResolutionMSC.428(98)) and the IACS Unified requirements on Cyber safety, E26 and E27.” E26 aims to ensure that the equipment onboard and ashore is updated and covers five key aspects, equipment identification, protection, attack detection, response and recovery. E27 aims to ensure system integrity is secured and hardened by third-party equipment suppliers.
Don't risk your business or reputation
