Cyber Security Manuals
At the 98th session of the Maritime Safety Committee held June 16, 2017, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) approved Resolution MSC.428(98) Maritime Cyber Risk Management in Safety Management Systems. The resolution affirms that approved safety management systems should take cyber risk management into account in accordance with the objectives and requirements of the International Safety Management Code. The resolution reaffirmed that existing risk management practices should be used to address the operational risks associated with the growing dependence on cyber enabled systems. Through the resolution, IMO member states are encouraged to ensure cyber risks are appropriately addressed in safety management systems no later than the first annual verification of the company’s Document of Compliance after 1 January 2021. Along with the publication of the Guidelines on maritime cyber risk management, a growing body of research and best-practices regarding cyber risk management has been developed by Flag States, industry associations, and class societies. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of cyber risks, continued engagement from all stakeholders is vital to the successful mitigation of cyber risks throughout the maritime industry.
