”Cyber security is being recognised as an increasingly important factor in the reliable and safe operations of a connected maritime industry. As an evolution of the earlier International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution to incorporate cyber risk management in the Safety Management System (SMS), new regulations and requirements are being progressively enforced. The IACS UR E26 and E27 requirements are being mandatory compliance requirements from January 2024 onwards.
Maintaining compliance with the cyber security regulations and requirements calls for knowledge and awareness of both shore and ship based cyber related issues. Maritime cyber security is a rapidly changing landscape where no two shipping companies are identical and the wide range of conditions in which vessels operate are equally unique. To help you maintain your cyber resilience and ensure continuing compliance with the regulations and requirements you need a trusted expert partner who understands your business. A partner with a deep understanding of maritime operations at sea and onshore and with extensive cyber security know-how.”
