Nor-Shipping event to counter maritime’s ‘invisible pirates

TINNews |

 The Cybersecurity specialist CrowdStrike will appear at Nor-Shipping at the end of the month, alongside ABS to highlight the scale of the risks facing an increasingly digitized shipping industry. The firm will lead a session focusing on the tactics, techniques and procedures of ‘invisible pirates’, and the actions the industry can take to rebuff them.

“Maritime has been described as ‘the next playground for hackers’,” comments Crowdstrike’s John Titmus, Director, EMEA – Cybersecurity Strategy Advisor.

“It’s an industry revolving around high value assets, moving valuable cargoes, that is transitioning to an increased reliance on digital systems. These technologies – ranging from automatic identification systems (AIS), to GPS, electronic chart displays and information systems (ECDIS), and complex cargo and energy management systems – are all vulnerable to attack and exploitation.”

The firm will use its platform at Nor-Shipping to teach delegates how they can spot indicators of compromise and attack, and, crucially how they can safeguard their organization accordingly.
