Addressing Mediterranean Maritime Challenges

What are the current threats to the shipping industry from cyber criminals? Cybersecurity experts recently displayed how easy it was to break into a ship’s navigational equipment. Despite that, the maritime industry is behind other transportation sectors, such as aerospace, in cybersecurity terms. The maritime industry has recently realized that ships are part of cyberspace. In the last years, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has considered to adopt an appropriate regulation when it comes to cybersecurity. However, development of robust maritime cybersecurity regulations is going to be a slow process. There are several core issues that make cybersecurity for the maritime industry particularly challenging to address.
