The New Front Line
As vessels become more connected through IoT and satellite links, they also become more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Vulnerability Assessments
Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments of onboard systems are now mandatory under many flag states. Systems like GPS and AIS are primary targets for spoofing and jamming.
Training and Awareness
Cybersecurity is not just a technical issue; it's a human one. Training crew members to recognize phishing and handle data securely is the first line of defense.
