Charting the Future of Maritime Cyber Security
The digital landscape at sea is shifting fast. Cyber threats affecting global shipping are evolving at the same pace as artificial intelligence. Systems that once felt secure are now vulnerable, sometimes overnight. For anyone serious about compliance, shipboard operational continuity, and crew safety, it’s time to re-examine what “preparedness” really means.
Course Description
Let’s break it down:
- The IMO’s guidelines and International Safety Management (ISM) Code demand not just compliance, but proven vigilance. Old protocols don’t cut it anymore.
- AI isn’t just helping the good guys. It’s fueling new attack vectors—from deepfakes able to impersonate port officials, to automated botnets targeting ECDIS, engine control, and OT networks.
- Ransomware has found ways to jump the air gap onto maritime systems. In 2023 alone, bulk carriers and ferries in both Europe and Asia lost millions of euros in downtime and regulatory fines.
- As vessels become smarter, their threat surfaces expand. Attackers can now exploit everything from smart sensors to integrated supply chain networks.
What this really means is: It’s not enough to rely on yesterday’s knowledge. You need to understand the risks AI brings onboard, anticipate next-generation threats, and close compliance gaps before authorities or attackers spot them first.

What Past Attendees Say
“I’ve been in shipping nearly as long as ECDIS itself. This course gave me practical solutions I could implement the same week. The AI content exposed threats I’d never encountered before — and taught me how to spot them.”
