Checklist Cyber Security
Onboard security is one of the most important aspects you should consider when working in shipping, and technology obviously plays a very important role in this matter.
If your software and installations are not secure, not compliant, nor adjusted to laws and regulations, you might find yourself in quite a few predicaments.
But fear not, advanced security systems and software can help you identify and eliminate potential security threats or breaches to the ship.
