    Cyber risk management

    A global approach is the key to success.

    It shall encompass:

    • The human factor
    • The organisational set-up
    • The IT/OT shipboard systems

    Cyber risk management is a continuous improvement process of audits, architectrure mapping, incidents recording, technology watch, regulatory watch, threat assessment, risk evaluation, mitigation measures and trainings with the challenge to always keep operational flexibility.

    While the cyber security is perceived as a technology matter, it is massively relying on human behaviour. Not less than 80% of cyber attacks comes from employee’s mistakes.

    An effective cyber security system involve the company organisation and must be integrated in the existing safety/security management systems.

    Cyber security is of course also a matter of advance technology, physical and logical barriers, which need innovation to stay up to date with threats.

    Finally, regarding the multiple regulations we currently start to see in the industry, it also can be seen as a lever for business differentiation.
