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: 🔑 Rear Admiral John Mauger, U.S. Coast Guard: "Cyberwarfare is the greatest threat to the maritime transportation system." 🔑 Ian Bramson, Global Head of Industrial Cybersecurity for ABS: "The biggest risk is companies’ lack of visibility into their systems. Attack vectors from energy and infrastructure have now penetrated maritime." 🔑 Max Bobys, VP, HudsonCyber: "Data is the new oil. There’s a massive underground market for raw data, and this has become a regional and national security issue." 🔑 Gideon Lenkey, Epsco-Ra: "It’s no longer sufficient to simply be good at your business – 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. 📝 Next Steps: - Read the full article:  [link here] - Join the discussion below: Members are encouraged to share insights and thoughts on how these cybersecurity threats may shape the future of global trade. - Stay tuned: An upcoming post will explore how drones are being used to secure the global supply chain, linking back to Quantum Dynamics Drone Academy’s mission. If members are interested in scheduling a Q&A session where they can discuss in detail real-world applications of drones in maritime security, please let us know in the comments. 🔐 #Cybersecurity #MaritimeSecurity #SupplyChain #DroneTech #DataProtection #QuantumDynamics #CyberThreats
