Maritime Cybersecurity Executive Session

Operationalising Cybersecurity Across Fleet and Shore Operations

The maritime sector is no longer flying under the radar of sophisticated threat actors. As corporate IT systems converge with vessel OT environments, shipping companies are facing an increasingly complex cyber threat landscape.

This executive session is designed specifically for leaders in the shipping industry, providing practical insights on how to transform cybersecurity from a technical function into a day-to-day operational capability that protects vessels, shore operations, and business continuity.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to implement risk-aligned security operations across their fleet while supporting compliance and reducing operational complexity.

• Standardising cybersecurity processes across fleets
• Consolidating security tools and automating operational tasks
• Prioritising cyber risks and improving operational efficiency
• Leveraging service-based security models for consistent fleet coverage
• Connecting cyber activities directly to compliance outcomes to reduce audit friction (IMO MSC.428(98) (SMS/ISM integration), IMO MSC FAL.1/Circ.3/Rev.3 , Industry Guidelines on Cybersecurity Onboard Ships, ISO 27001 / NIST CSF, NIS2 for EU shore org; IACS E26/E27 for newbuild procurement. )
