WEBINAR: Securing our Ships in a Cyber World

A webinar by the IMarEST's Naval Engineering Special Interest Group

About this Event

In this talk, Kevin will discuss why cyber-security in the Maritime space is a very different problem to that encountered in the familiar IT sector and the implications of that for the industry.

He will address the current state of practice, using real world examples, and explore some of the work being done to address the issue of secure ships in the future.
