About our Cyber Courses

Cybersecurity is one of the biggest risks in today’s world, and yachting is no exception. In fact, research shows that nearly 80% of cybersecurity breaches come from human error, often unintentional. That’s why training crew and shoreside staff to recognize and respond to cyber threats is essential for keeping everyone safe—and for staying compliant with regulations like GDPR and the latest updates to the ISM Code, which now includes Cyber Risk Management.

Created by Dr. Paul Hunton of Maritime Cyber Solutions along with Bond IT staff, our NCSC-accredited cyber courses are tailored specifically for yacht crew, management staff, and port-side professionals. You’ll gain practical insights on identifying cyber risks and best practices for protecting sensitive onboard and shoreside technology when connected to the internet. This training is not only an industry best practice but a vital part of ensuring onboard safety and security.

Choose from our self-paced E-Learning Course which can be completed in under 2 hours or get your team together for a 4-hour Instructor-Led Course via Zoom and start the conversation onboard about being cyber aware.

Learners will develop an awareness of...

  • the current cyber risks and threats commonly found on board and shoreside;
  • the steps that can be taken to minimize cyber risks and reduce potential exposure to cyber-attack;
  • how to identify unexpected or suspicious activities and monitor possible cyber risks;
  • the different devices used by crew and shoreside staff and the considerations necessary to secure them;
  • how best to respond when faced with a cyber incident;
  • the implications surrounding the legal and regulatory controls covering personal data and the technical security requirements necessary to comply with GDPR

Bond IT Level 2 Courses

Level 2 Courses take place in the Bond Office in Hamburg, Germany to get the hands-on experience and troubleshooting necessary to tackle the issues of onboard technology.

“I found the courses to be extremely helpful for someone coming from an electrical background. It filled the gap of that missing link when it comes to AV and IT. Loads of information and practical training to build a foundation and to grow from further in this field. The team from Bond is very professional, easy approachable and really all just a bunch of cool people. Looking forward to joining them for more courses in the future. Definitely worth the time and money.¨

MY Carinthia VII, 97m LÜRSSEN

“Undoubtedly one of the most interesting courses I've attended in years. The information was presented in a progressive and easy-to-understand manner. The practical fault-finding excercises give confidence and insights that would be useful to most sea-going marine engineers.¨

Alan Dodd

Chief Engineer, Project Y704

"Excellent overview of IT systems specifically found on the modern yacht. Great at giving engineers or Captains with working knowledge a little more technical detail and troubleshooting tips to make them more hands-on in the field.

 

Level 2 AV Training provided a better understanding on troubleshooting and diagnosing onboard AV Systems regardless of what specific system exists onboard. Also provided knowledge to better plan for refit possibilities.”
