The growing imperative for maritime cybersecurity

As maritime operations become increasingly digitised, the potential attack surface for cyber threats continues to expand. Vessels and offshore platforms now rely heavily on interconnected systems for navigation, communication, and operational efficiency. While this digital integration offers significant benefits, it also introduces vulnerabilities that malicious actors may exploit. The surge in cybersecurity service subscriptions reflects a proactive, industry-wide effort to strengthen defenses and ensure operational resilience.
