Cyber Security for Maritime
Operational Overview
Cyber security in maritime is not really about hackers taking over a vessel's steering. It is about the everyday IT and OT systems, ashore and onboard, that keep cargo moving, charts updated and crews paid, and what happens when those systems stop working.
Modern vessels and the companies that run them depend on a mix of shore-side IT and onboard operational technology, from cargo booking systems to electronic charts and engine monitoring. Both are genuinely attractive targets, and both have already been hit.
This course covers where that risk actually sits, how attacks really reach these systems, what IMO and IACS now require of the industry, and the practical habits that make the difference.
