Recent Cybersecurity Incident Summary |

Critical infrastructure is rarely headline news—not until something goes very wrong—and the maritime transportation system (MTS) is no exception. The MTS, which is responsible for the safe transport of the majority of international trade, is vital to the global economy.1 From backlogged cargo at port facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic to the Ever Given container ship blocking the Suez Canal, recent events have highlighted the vulnerability of maritime transportation, and how impactful disruptions to that system can be to everyday life. Broadly speaking, the MTS consists of all the waterways, vehicles, and ports that are used to move people and goods via water.3 The volume of goods moved in this way is particularly striking, with most of the world’s cargo carried by sea—between 70–90 percent, depending on how the cargo is counted. For the United States, the MTS contributes to nearly 25 percent of gross domestic product, totaling around $5.4 trillion.4It is also essential to the US ability to project military power. Today, as for the past century, sealift—the use of cargo ships to deploy military assets—is responsible for transporting the vast majority of US military matériel around the world.

Shipping has changed more in the last two years than it did in the entire decade before that. Digitalization has given the industry new ways of working that have kept world trade moving through a global pandemic and enabled many new efficiencies. But the shipping industry’s increasing reliance on digital tools is not without risks. Today, it makes no difference if you work at sea or ashore; there is no escaping the need to properly manage cybersecurity risks and protect against those attempting to harm the industry. A new report by Thetius, ‘The Great Disconnect’, focuses on what it perceives as three significant disconnects. Within maritime organizations, there is a disconnect between the perceived and actual readiness to respond to an attack. Whether at sea or ashore, the more senior a staff member is, the less likely they are to know if their organization has suffered from a cyberattack. The second disconnect occurs across the supply chain between the security standards ship operators are working to and the standards that the industry’s suppliers work to. |

Shipping is a major lifeline for the transportation of global cargo. Cyber threats in the shipping industry have the potential to disrupt critical shipping trade routes, leading to a significant economic impact on global trade often running into billions of dollars.
The increasing digitalisation and adoption of technologies have made the shipping industry vulnerable to digital attacks. Cyber resiliency is key to ensuring safe and secure shipping by mitigating threats such as phishing, and ransomware. Using its experience in the sector, Ship Technology has listed some of the leading companies providing products and services related to cybersecurity. The information provided in the download document is drafted for shipping industry executives and technology leaders involved in cybersecurity solutions. The download contains detailed information on suppliers and their product offerings, alongside contact details to aid purchasing or hiring decisions. Amongst the leading vendors of cybersecurity in the shipping industry are Cydome , ABS Group , Agilient, Infosec , Nettitude , OTORIO , and Cyberstar.

The IFC was established in 2009 to collate relevant commercial shipping and maritime information to increase MARSEC awareness. Through the strong support of our partners, the IFC has established itself as a regional maritime security info-sharing hub, providing actionable information to cue operational responses for MARSEC incidents, including theft, robbery, and piracy at sea, maritime terrorism, maritime incidents, contraband smuggling, illegal fishing, irregular human migration, environment security, and maritime cyber security. The IFC has a robust network and linkages with 100 partners from 43 countries, which include navies, coastguards, maritime agencies, and influential shipping associations and companies enabling us to exchange MARSEC information across different regions. When IFC receives information on a MARSEC threat or incident, we will immediately share the information with our International Liaison Officers (ILOs) who are responsible to relay the information back to their operation centers and cue timely operational responses from the relevant authorities. The facilitation by the ILOs alleviate uncertainty or delay caused by miscommunication, which is common in Asia where there are many different languages and practices. |

Singapore Shipping Association (SSA) and ClassNK have signed an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to establish a framework for cooperation in cyber security research activities. Cyber security has been acknowledged by the maritime industry as a key element to keep ships safe during operations, and to ensure its solid and steady digital transformation in coming years. Singapore, being a global maritime hub that connects regional and global markets, is ideally positioned for such research activities that eventually contributes to reinforce cyber resilience of the global supply chain to be launched. With the signing of the MOU, the two parties will conduct joint basic research concerning establishing vessels’ cyber security operation centers that provide crew members with support from onshore in monitoring and responding to cyber events onboard. Based on expertise and experience gained from this research, SSA and ClassNK will work on drafting a joint white paper on the finding of the research and developing education and training plans of personnel to work for vessels’ cyber security operation centers jointly. |
