New poster for cyber security launched

TIN news:   BIMCO, International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA Singapore) launched a new cyber security awareness poster at Singapore Maritime Week 2017.

As Bimco explains, the aim of the poster is to provide basic information to shipboard personnel on their role and contribution to managing maritime cyber risks. In addition, it highlights how staff need to be aware of how to respond effectively to cyber risks. 

Giles Noakes Head or Maritime Security at BIMCO says: “Whilst shipboard personnel are one of the major cyber vulnerabilities, with improved basic awareness, they can contribute to ensuring that company approaches to managing cyber risks are effective. This poster provides all the information they need in a clear and accessible form”.

MPA Singapore will distribute the A3 size poster through their pilots, for ships calling at Singapore ports.
