Cyber Security Workbook for On Board Ship Use (7th Edition 2026) e-book

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).
