Maritime cyber risk refers to a measure of the extent to which a technology asset could be threatened by a potential circumstance or event, which may result in shipping-related operational, safety or security failures as a consequence of information or systems being corrupted, lost or compromised.
Cyber risk management means the process of identifying, analysing, assessing and communicating a cyber-related risk and accepting, avoiding, transferring or mitigating it to an acceptable level, considering costs and benefits of actions taken to stakeholders
The overall goal is to support safe and secure shipping, which is operationally resilient to cyber risks.
The Maritime Safety Committee, at its 98th session in June 2017, also adopted Resolution MSC.428(98) - Maritime Cyber Risk Management in Safety Management Systems. The resolution encourages administrations to ensure that cyber risks are appropriately addressed in existing safety management systems (as defined in the ISM Code) no later than the first annual verification of the company's Document of Compliance after 1 January 2021.
IMO has issued MSC-FAL.1/Circ.3 Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management.
The guidelines provide high-level recommendations on maritime cyber risk management to safeguard shipping from current and emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities and include functional elements that support effective cyber risk management. The recommendations can be incorporated into existing risk management processes and are complementary to the safety and security management practices already established by IMO.
Cydome cybersecurity suite is uniquely designed for the maritime industry. Along with protecting the vessel from inside and outside attacks, it provides comprehensive support for the new IMO 2021 and will enforce companies to comply with the regulation and provide on-the-fly visablitity on vessel fleet.
The Digital Container Shipping Association (DCSA) established to further digitalisation of container shipping through technology standards, today in conjunction with its nine member carriers, published the DCSA cyber security implementation guide to facilitate vessel readiness for the IMO (Resolution MSC.428(98) on Maritime Cyber Risk Management in Safety Management Systems.
NIST framework defines five functional elements that create the backbone of a sound cyber risk management program. With the help of the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), groups within the maritime industry have worked from this framework to develop additional guidelines and best practices.
