Being prepared is key to ports ensuring resilience against the ‘inevitability’ of a cybersecurity attack
That was the key message when experts from the maritime and security industries met at the IAPH World Ports Conference webinar to discuss how to foster resilience against the ‘digital tempest’ ports face.
Challenges from threat actors include QR fishing, malware and driver exploitation. And with it taking an average of a month for organisations to fully recover from a loss of service, ports need to ensure that they can operate without their systems for 30 days.
