43% of crew have already experienced a cyber breach and 61% of companies believe that they have been breached, but not attacked yet.
These hard-hitting statistics were delivered by Radio Holland’s Global Manager of Remote Services Frank Berends at the Smart Operations Singapore conference.
Berends also reminded delegates of how easy it is for people to have their passwords extracted from them through showing an engaging video that showed people on the streets being tricked out of their passwords through being asked simple questions.
The statistics that were presented were from a survey that was conducted at the Digital Ship CIO forum Rotterdam in late-2015.
Berends concluded by saying that most shipping companies now that they need to act on cyber-security and are willing to, but face a daunting reality of not knowing where to start due to it being very complicated.
