Short Overview

This practical and easy to understand workbook supports the owner, Master and the ship's crew with cyber security risk management.

It contains comprehensive checklists to support the day-to-day management of onboard cyber security and facilitates collaboration between ships, onshore IT departments and equipment manufacturers.

Detailed Overview

Cyber risk management should be an inherent part of safety and security and should be considered at all levels of the company, including senior management ashore and onboard personnel.

This Workbook has been designed as a practical, straightforward guide to support the Master and officers on board ship (Part I: Onboard Practical Considerations). It is designed to facilitate understanding and good collaboration between individual ships, onshore IT departments and equipment manufacturers (Part II: Shore Management Considerations). The Workbook may also be useful to the wider maritime industry.

The sixth edition has been produced and supported by BIMCO and the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS).

The Workbook has been fully revised and updated and contains new guidance on:

• Industry guidelines and regulatory requirements, including IACS UR E26 and E27
  cyber security in port
• ship inspections and port state control
• malware detection and prevention
• phishing risks.

Detailed case studies and diagrams have been added to help illustrate cyber risks. The Workbook contains 14 checklists and 7 annexes, including Cyber Security Risk Assessment and Creating a Cyber Security Plan.
