Cyber risks - on land and at sea
PC security software provider McAfee has reported that between January and April 2020 cloud-based cyber-attacks on all businesses increased by 630%.
The coronavirus pandemic is also leaving the maritime and offshore energy sectors vulnerable to cyber-attack, with Naval Dome, an Israel-based provider of specialist cyber security systems, citing a massive 400% increase in attempted hacks since February 2020.
Amongst others, the global crisis and social distancing measures are preventing OEM technicians flying out to ships and rigs to upgrade and service critical OT systems, resulting in operators circumventing established security protocols, leaving them open to attack. (mw)
