As maritime systems undergo rapid digital transformation, the convergence of operational technology (OT), information technology (IT), connectivity, and artificial intelligence is reshaping the industry. From autonomous vessels and smart ports to globally interconnected supply chains and critical undersea infrastructure, the maritime sector is entering a new era of innovation, efficiency, and strategic importance, but also one of unprecedented cyber risk.
Cyber Security for Future Maritime Systems brings together maritime professionals, policymakers, engineers, and leading cybersecurity experts to explore one of the defining challenges of our time:
How do we secure the digital maritime ecosystem while enabling innovation and growth?
This thought-provoking event will examine the evolving threat landscape facing maritime environments, where legacy fleets and systems must coexist with increasingly connected, software-driven platforms. As reliance grows on critical support systems (including satellite communications, telecommunications, and positioning, navigation and timing systems) the sector faces heightened exposure to sophisticated cyber threats, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Participants will engage in forward-looking discussions on securing vessels, port systems, and maritime infrastructure, alongside the trusted exchange of data across global networks. Topics of interest include the rising importance of operational resilience, insurability, and regulatory alignment in a sector that underpins global trade and national security.
Key areas of interest include:
• Managing cyber risk in connected and converged IT/OT maritime environments
• Securing autonomous and remotely operated vessels, including “secure-by-design” principles
• Protecting critical infrastructure, including ports and undersea cables
• Ensuring resilience of satellite, telecoms, and PNT-dependent systems
• Addressing supply chain security across international maritime ecosystems
• Responding to geopolitical threats and evolving attack vectors, including the role of AI
• Enabling trusted data exchange across maritime operations and infrastructure
• Navigating insurance challenges, regulatory frameworks, and international collaboration
Through a combination of expert-led sessions and interactive discussions, the event will connect practical maritime experience with cutting-edge technical insight. It offers a unique platform to share knowledge, explore emerging solutions, and shape the future of cyber resilience in the maritime domain.
Who Should Attend?
A must for those interested in safeguarding critical infrastructure, protecting global trade, and building trust in the next generation of maritime systems.
