Korean Register (KR) has launched maritime cyber security officer e-learning training in conjunction with maritime technology company SIRM Italia.
The new course covers administrative security and cyber risk assessment as well as understanding and practice of maritime cyber security. The course is designed for ship officers who are required to undertake cyber security related audits and surveys.
With so many computer-based systems onboard, ships are vulnerable to cyber risk. Therefore, comprehensive cyber security preparedness is now essential for any maritime industry. This e-learning training allows superintendents and crews at all levels to continue their training, to understand and take actions to manage cyber security risk
LEE Hyungchul, KR Chairman & CEO, said.
What is more, Claudio Aleandri, CEO /COO of SIRM Italia, added that “with rapid advancement in technology, shifting cyber threat landscape and increased digitalization, organizations are exposed to greater cybersecurity risks that may potentially have an adverse impact to their business objectives. It is imperative to prioritize and plan defenses to avert those risks effectively.”
Organizations should be able to identify ‘what could go wrong’ and determine the levels of cybersecurity risk that they are exposed to, developing adequate assessment and adapting ICT infrastructure. Improving an internal cyber risk awareness culture, through dedicated training, is the strategic approach to protect the organizations and facilitate their governance
