Welcome back to another week of tech insights in maritime. This week, we’re doing something different; rather than sharing insights from an industry expert, I’m sharing insights from two!
I recently watched a fantastic webinar hosted by CMA on cybersecurity in maritime. This insightful conversation focused on how the adoption of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites has fundamentally changed the cybersecurity landscape in vessel operations.
Nick Chubb chaired the session with Philip Bannerman, VP of Sales for the Americas for Marlink, sharing his expertise on connectivity and security solutions in maritime and Youri Hart, VP of Products and Solutions for Marlink. This pivotal discussion revealed both the technical vulnerabilities and human error challenges that are evolving in vessel cybersecurity.
“"Today we find that most people have deployed Starlink and now they're facing up to this reality of ‘How do I protect all my data? How do I protect the crew?’”
