IT security in global shipping and offshore

It is not only piracy that threatens global shipping, unprotected IT infrastructure also poses a danger. The coordination of shipping traffic and the transport of goods worldwide runs via the internet. Control systems and maintenance functions in offshore facilities, such as wind farms and drilling platforms, are regulated and updated via data lines. The communication of crews on duty and in private is also handled via the internet. This also makes this economically important network vulnerable to cyber criminals.

 

"Ships are an essential element of many important supply chains and are therefore also part of the Federal Government's CRITIS strategy. They are a mainstay of passenger and freight transport in Germany and around the world and must therefore also meet high standards in the area of cyber security."

Dr. Gerhard Schabhüser, Vizepräsident des BSI (Press release 14.09.2021)

  • We support you with DSGVO-compliant archiving of your emails. Tamper-proof and equipped with a search engine, you can find any email you thought was lost.
