CyberKeel Information

Technology is rapidly improving the efficiency in the maritime industry, creating significant value to all market participants as well as the ultimate customers. However, we often find that cybersecurity in the industry is quite weak. At CyberKeel we have a unique expertise combining deep insights and experience in the maritime industry with hard-core skills within cybersecurity - and its opposite: the world of hacking. All market participants need to ensure their cybersecurity protocols reflect the question "what do you do when you are hacked?". This is crucial. In today's world, cybersecurity has to take as a given that you will be hacked. It is not possible to keep all attacks at bay. If you believe you have not been hacked, it is overwhelmingly likely that you have just not discovered it yet. Recent examples from within the industry involves hacker breaching Port of Antwerp to smuggle narcotics, AIS data being spoofed and a vessel being brought off course. Our expertise allows us to assist maritime clients improve security procedures - not just from an IT angle but also from the angle of raising staff awareness. The single greatest cybersecurity threat is the one sitting in a chair in front of the screen providing information, not out of malice but simply because most people are unaware of how hacker manipulate them through social engineering.
