Cyber ??security is a hot topic for the entire maritime industry, and also in academia. A joint team recently conducted a completely new cyber security course at NTNU in Ålesund.
Probably the first of its kind
NTNU in Ålesund, through its industry program for the maritime industry, has this year offered the new course “Maritime digital security.”
Over two months, the course participants have looked at the digital threat image. They have risk assessed current digital threats and realistically practiced a cyber attack on a ship under sail. The key focus is on risk management of cyber attacks and building resilience.
“Where there is information technology and people, there is room for digital vulnerability. Breaches of security can come in the ship’s systems and they can come in th ..
