As part of Sean's ongoing cybersecurity series, this post revisits a critical article from The Maritime Executive, originally published on December 12, 2021. The article highlights the growing threats to the global supply chain, particularly within maritime systems.
Key cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the maritime industry include:
đ Rear Admiral John Mauger, U.S. Coast Guard: "Cyberwarfare is the greatest threat to the maritime transportation system."
đ Ian Bramson, Global Head of Industrial Cybersecurity for ABS: "The biggest risk is companiesâ lack of visibility into their systems. Attack vectors from energy and infrastructure have now penetrated maritime."
đ Max Bobys, VP, HudsonCyber: "Data is the new oil. Thereâs a massive underground market for raw data, and this has become a regional and national security issue."
đ Gideon Lenkey, Epsco-Ra: "Itâs no longer sufficient to simply be good at your business â you also must be good at protecting your data and network. Hackers are limited only by imagination. Attack surfaces increase as vessels become more intelligent and sophisticated."
These cybersecurity risks aren't exclusive to the maritime industry; they impact every global business dependent on trade and transport.
