Safety at Sea launches the 2020 Maritime Cyber Security survey
20 February 2020
The fifth annual Safety at Sea/ BIMCO Maritime Cyber
Security survey, launched on 10 February, examines industry
attitudes, measures cyber security spend and evaluates digital
protection across the maritime sector.
The survey, created in partnership with BIMCO, acts as a
barometer to gauge the level of cyber risk facing the maritime
industry and the efforts companies are making to protect against
cyber breaches year-on-year
The cyber threat to maritime is continuously evolving at a rate
that outpaces the actions any single individual or organisation can
take. Industry engagement and information sharing is a vital part
of strengthening the maritime sector's defences against
cyber-crime
Last year's survey results and
whitepaper showed that companies are working to protect their
IT systems, operational technology and against vulnerabilities
introduced by third parties. However, companies still view their
employees as their biggest cyber weakness.
Safety at Sea and BIMCO are committed to raising awareness for
maritime cyber risk management. This year's survey will focus on
the actions companies are taking to protect themselves and how
'cyber prepared' companies truly are.
Questions cover spend on cyber, staff training, what plans firms
have to recover in the event of a cyber breach and how companies
assess and protect IT systems and Operation Technology on board
vessels. We'd like to hear from you to help us build a picture of
the industry's approach to cyber risk.
The deadline for Maritime Cyber Security survey responses is 13
April 2020.
