Why you need a threat led approach to maritime cyber risk
In this episode, we focus on the intersection of geopolitical, socioeconomic, and cyber risk. We ask leading risk experts, how the intersectionality of these three macro risk factors impacts the safe operation of ships at sea today?
We discuss the motivations behind cyber-attacks, in particular nation state espionage and ransomware attacks? And; finally, we gain a better understanding of what is meant by a threat informed cyber risk management strategy and question what this looks like in practice for maritime risk managers.
