Summary

This book aims to enhance the safety and security of seafarers, the environment, cargo, and vessels. They are designed to support the development of effective cyber risk management strategies in line with applicable regulations and industry best practices. Focus areas include work processes, equipment, training, incident response, and recovery management aboard ships.

As shipping increasingly relies on digital technologies to perform daily operations, rapid advancements in information technology, data accessibility, processing speed, and data transfer capabilities offer opportunities for operational efficiency, cost reduction, safety enhancements, and sustainability. However, these technological developments often depend on heightened connectivity – primarily via the internet – between servers, Information Technology (IT) systems, and Operational Technology (OT) systems.

Therefore, this book underscores the importance of proactive, comprehensive cyber risk management tailored to each shipping operation, supported by industry standards and regulatory requirements.
