New cyber guidelines urge ship operators to assess threats and identify possible risks

摘要

A group of international ship-ping organizations has released guidelines to help shipping companies prevent cyberattacks. The cybersecurity guidelines, published in January, are the first to be released for the industry. "We realized there is a problem in the industry and we decided to move and do something before we see any attacks on the industry," said Aron Sorensen, chief technical officer for BIMCO. The following organizations joined BIMCO in the project, which took more than two years: the Cruise Lines International Association, Intercargo, Intertanko and the International Chamber of Shipping. The guidelines are free and available on BIMCO's website.
