Maritime Cyber Priority 2024/25: Managing cyber risk to enable innovation
Drawing on a timely survey of almost 500 maritime professionals and in-depth interviews with cybersecurity experts, Maritime Cyber Priority explores changing attitudes and approaches to cybersecurity. It covers the industry’s key challenges and priorities, and offers recommendations from DNV.
To make informed cybersecurity decisions and develop an effective strategy, companies need to assess their own cybersecurity maturity level and capabilities. Comparing your cybersecurity with others can give you valuable insights, while collaboration is essential to tackle threats to critical infrastructure. DNV Cyber helps you understand your security posture, shares insights, and supports collaboration.
As cyber-attacks keep increasing and evolving, companies are looking for cost-effective ways to improve security. Is your posture fit-for-purpose and are you investing enough, or too much? Is your investment going to where it can be most effective? Comparing your cybersecurity with your peers and others can give you valuable insights that help you make the right decisions.
To benefit most when comparing yourself with others, you should first fully understand your own security posture, assessing your cybersecurity maturity level and capabilities. This can be done as a self-assessment, facilitated assessment, or an audit – and the assessment can be extended to your supply chain. You can then compare your cybersecurity with industry standards and best practices, and contextualize and compare with your peers and others as you get inspired and learn from approach and initiatives. By sharing information on your own approach to cybersecurity, you can inspire others.
Critical infrastructure sectors need to take big steps forward in openly sharing cybersecurity experiences – the good, the bad and the ugly – to collectively create security best practice guidance.
