The maritime cyber threat landscape is worsening - but how is the threat landscape really developing? What are the most likely scenarios to be aware of? You will get the answer in next weeks 15+15 on Wednesday 17 April at 12:00 UTC, when Lars Benjamin Vold, Managing Director at Norwegian Maritime Cyber Resilience Centre - NORMA Cyber will provide an overview of the situation and give examples of attacks observed towards maritime entities. All based upon their day-to-day basis monitoring of their members' 2,500 vessels and handling of cyber-related incidents among them.

Last week, our colleagues Federica Maria Rita Livelli Training Center Director and Costantino Amato PMO Director took us on a journey to discover all the challenges related to guaranteeing the cyber resilience of IT and OT environments in the EU, especially for SMEs. Did you miss our webinar Exploring Early Warning System for Critical Infrastructures: challenges and best practices of OT Security for European SMEs co-funded by European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC)? Here, you can find the main insights we gathered! 👇 #Cybersecurity #ECCC #EU #DigitalEU

It was a great panel discussion, and I'd like to summarize the key insights and share them here for everyone, as they may be helpful: 1- Cyber Resilience: "The Ultimate Hyper Power" True power is in resilience, ensuring the ability to recover swiftly from attacks. This includes disaster recovery and business continuity, vital in today’s high-stakes cyber landscape. 2- The Power of Visibility: Comprehensive visibility across networks, endpoints, and cloud environments allows security teams to detect anomalies and act before a breach occurs. Full visibility is fundamental to effective security operations. 3- Threat Intelligence at Scale: Hyper power lies in the ability to leverage real-time, global threat intelligence. Moving from reactive to predictive defense is key to staying ahead of rapidly evolving threats. 4- Robust Cybersecurity Strategy: A well-structured strategy aligns security initiatives with business goals, ensuring a proactive rather than reactive approach. It is the foundation for sustainable, long-term security. 5- AI and Automation: AI and machine learning are revolutionizing threat detection and response, enabling faster reactions and minimizing human error. However, as attackers adopt these technologies too, striking a balance between automation and human oversight is crucial. 6- Zero Trust Architecture: Zero Trust is becoming essential, minimizing risks by continuously verifying every user and device, whether inside or outside the network. 7- Compliance with National Regulations: Adherence to national regulations (NCA, SAMA, IA, NDMO,...) and frameworks strengthens cybersecurity by enforcing standards and ensuring a baseline of security measures. This is a powerful enabler of effective cyber defense. Many thanks to my fellow panelists on stage: Alexander Tushkanov, Ruby Khaira, Alaa Khalid and Mohammed Al Tamimi.

Our “Q4 get together” has started with a lot of valuable information about BCP and vessel IT from Holger Ritter Among other thing, Holger has made us aware of the existance of “The information hub” in maritime cybersecurity. The global information hub marcybersec.com provides free central access to this treasure including regular updates. Reports on attacks are restricted to cases with named target organizations as a major indicator for credibility. #maritime #security #safety #cybersecurity #knowledgesharing

🚨 Critical Infrastructure Attacks on the Rise 🚨 As highlighted by CISA, attacks targeting critical infrastructure are growing in both scale and complexity. These cyber threats pose significant risks to national security, public safety, and economic stability. At CTDefense, we are more committed than ever to safeguarding these essential systems. Our proactive approach to cybersecurity ensures that organizations can stay one step ahead of evolving threats. Now, more than ever, protecting critical infrastructure is not just an IT issue—it’s a matter of national defense. #Cybersecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #CTDefense #CISAwarning #CyberThreats #NationalSecurity #StayVigilant
