Table 6: Maritime Cybersecurity
Hosted by Dualog
The impact of a cyber incident is no longer limited to malfunctioning computers or employees not being able to use email. There is a direct, negative impact on the business and the bottom line.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has given until 1 January 2021 to incorporate cyber risk management into ship safety.
Ships need to be cybersecure, but what does this mean in practice? The challenge is to make sense of all the guidance available and put it to practical use.
• What is the industry experience with interpreting the many guidelines?
• Are there any simpler checklists that could serve as guidance or prioritizing?
• Any experiences on the impact on the budget, including ICT spending?
• What to expect from the IMO guidelines? What does mandatory mean?
• What kind of surveys or audits are available, if any?
• What about certifications? Are they one-size-fits-all or tiered?
• Given how broad the scope is (including OT), does it fall in ICT, or another departments’ responsibility?
Moderated by Andrea Giglietti, Customer Service Manager – Global, Dualog

• How can we connect onshore machinery experts and superintendents with engineer officers at sea?
