Web Alert: ICS, BIMCO & MPA-Singapore release new cyber security poster

A recent joint initiative by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), BIMCO and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has seen the release of a new awareness poster which focusses on the threats posed by cyber-attack and measures to mitigate the risk to vessels. Cyber-attack is a new and unwelcome feature of life in the 21st century, maritime organisations must ensure that they take steps to harden their systems and educate their crew members to reduce the chances of a cyber-attack being successful.
