The Cyprus Shipping Chamber, noting the increased concerns of its Members and the Shipping Industry in general with regards to Cyber Security threats, developed a new version of a cyber security
document for shipping companies with the intention to create further awareness of the threats and provide guidance to its Members, as a follow up to the first Cyber Security Case Study it published in August 2017.
Given that there are already a number of available guidance documents issued from various sources, the Chamber once again decided to issue guidance in the form of a Case Study.
The Vulnerability Management Case Study was prepared to illustrate how a Member-company of the Chamber that is a Technical-Operations Manager and Crew Manager approaches the concept of vulnerability management both onboard and ashore. This is achieved in the form of replies by the Member-company to a number of questions posed to them. The Member-company replies were then enhanced with general considerations and advice on cyber security.
It should be recognised that this Case Study is not an all-inclusive or exhaustive guidance or evaluation and that it is a dynamic document which will be updated with latest developments on cyber security as they become available.
