KR launches cyber security e-learning courses
Korean Register (KR) has launched a range of maritime cyber security e-learning courses in conjunction with Orange Security, a specialist cyber security consulting company, to support clients who may be having difficulty organizing group training because of the global pandemic.
As information and communication technology is widely applied to more and more of the maritime business world, so the risk of cyberattack for ships, shipping companies and ports grows. In addition, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution of MSC.428(98) now states that cyber risks should be appropriately identified, analyzed, and addressed within the Safety Management System no later than the first annual verification of the Company’s Document of Compliance after 1st January 2021.
