The curriculum progresses to actionable strategies for mitigating and defending against these cyber threats, emphasizing that cyber security is a collective responsibility.

 

Course Objectives: This course aims to equip seafarers with essential knowledge in Maritime Cyber Security regardless of their rank or role within the company or aboard a ship. It prepares them to protect vulnerable onboard equipment, integrate cyber security measures into the ship’s safety management system (SMS), and ensure operational resilience against cyber risks.

  • Individuals responsible for the security of ships, crew, cargo, and operations at sea and port.

 

Course Delivery and Duration:
  • Format: Available online, flexible learning can be conducted onboard or onshore.
  • Duration: Approximately 4.5 to 5 hours, though learners can progress at their own pace, with the caveat that assessments must be completed in one session without interruption.
