Synopsis
You may sometimes have wished to leave behind the concerns of IT and sail towards the horizon on a finely outfitted yacht.
Well, we have good news and bad news! Unfortunately, maritime data is as vulnerable to attack as any other and their international mobility can be both a blessing and a curse. What's more, because of the reliance of maritime systems on accurate data, breaches could be an issue of life and death.
The good news is specialists, such as our speaker, Richard Hodder of Pelion Consulting, have been working for years to understand and manage cybersecurity threats at sea; From privacy and surveillance to penetration testing and anti-drone strategies.
This talk with questions and answers will review the most critical current issues in maritime cybersecurity.
