With cyber-attacks no longer the stuff of “fictional narrative”, the UK Department for Transport (DfT) has released a new cyber security code of practice on cyber security for UK ports.
The document, released on 27 January, notes that cyber attacks on port systems are “no longer considered hypothetical” and cites the 2017 cyber-attack on Maersk from the destructive NotPetya virus which caused losses in the region of $200 to $300 million.
I entered the maritime security world in 2009, becoming Intelligence Officer for Neptune Maritime Security (now the NeptuneP2P Group). In 2012, became piracy editor for SomaliaReport.com and in 2013 became editor of MarsecReview.com and intelligence consultant for CSO Alliance, which I left in 2019. I currently work with another UK maritime security firm as a consultant and have an interest in a cyber security concern in the UK.
