The maritime industry is the cornerstone of global trade, with approximately 80% of the world’s goods transported by sea. Vessels, whether they are container ships, tankers, or drill ships, are designed to be in service for 25 years or more. This longevity presents unique challenges, especially the need for continuous maintenance and system upgrades, including cybersecurity measures.

Any disruption to maritime operations can have far-reaching consequences, impacting the flow of goods and the stability of global markets. The diversity of stakeholders is particularly pronounced in the realm of cybersecurity, where evolving threats continually heighten the stakes. To continue fulfilling its vital role in the global economy, stakeholders must be proactive in addressing emerging trends. This webcast will explore the critical role of cybersecurity in safeguarding maritime operations. Read the associated whitepaper here.
