Maritime Cyber Risk Awareness Course (Mixed-Vessel)

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.

Our engaging, half-day, instructor-led course is 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.

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
