Modern shipping vessels are more than just carriers of goods—they're complex ecosystems of interconnected technology. However, as vessels become increasingly digitized and interconnected, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats. Shipboard operational technology (OT) systems, which control critical functions such as navigation, propulsion, and cargo operations, are prime targets for cyber attacks.
In this post, we’ll take a look at what makes vessels vulnerable to cyber attacks, the threats to specific shipboard systems, and how Mission Secure is helping maritime owners and operators protect their assets in a rapidly evolving environment.
Mission Secure is a Virginia-based cybersecurity company that provides threat detection, OT monitoring, incident response and related solutions for businesses.
