Presentation Title:

Strategic Leadership for Sailing Ships with CyberSec to ”Safe Harbors”!

The Internet of Things (IoT) is everywhere. All our daily-used devices are now connected – or rather interconnected. And the shipping industry is not an exception to this new IIoT world with its connected conventional and semi-/autonomous ships. Modern ships have become genuine computers, equipped with dozens of sensors and processors. Although this brings tremendous benefits for users, the shipping industry will have to step up surveillance of the soft spots where their vessels are vulnerable to data leaks, malfunctions and attacks via mobile applications as well other forms of COMMINT, infotainment systems, comm-systems, etc. We have to face the needs and demands for new , disruptive businesses and solutions with the eyes of a decision maker since they affect the entire eco-system of a conventional as well an autonomous ship. And the issue which appear very transparent as facilitator for prosperous and safe shipping operations is Info-/Cybersec. And last but not least is the role of the decision maker which will divulge and align whether it´s viable or not.”
