The European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) has recently published its first ever report on cyber security challenges facing the EU Maritime Sector. The report, which is meant to highlight essential key insights and existing initiatives, serves as a baseline for the growing cyber-security threats facing all industry sectors and provides high-level recommendations for addressing these risks.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the report found that the overall awareness and preparedness of EU member states for maritime specific cyber-attacks is currently low to non-existent; an alarming find considering 90% of the EU’s external trade and more than 40% of the internal trade take place via maritime routes.
While ENISA admits that ensuring adequate maritime cyber security and protection of ICT (information and communications technology) systems is a major challenge that is in no way limited to the maritime sector, more can be done.
