Pen Test Partners<p>Are ships today more vulnerable to cyber attacks due to increased connectivity to their systems?</p><p>🚢 In our latest blog post, Andrew Tierney explains the potential risks associated with systems such as the Power Management System (PMS)⚡ and Integrated Alarm and Monitoring System (IAMCS), which are responsible for controlling the power generation and other machinery onboard.<br> <br>⚠️ The consequences if these are hacked? Blackouts, increased crew workload, and potential loss of control during manoeuvres - especially risky in busy waterways. While hackers taking full remote control of a vessel is unlikely, disruptions to these systems are a genuine concern due to rising automation and inadequate network segmentation.<br> <br>🛳️ Dynamic positioning vessels and cruise ships have even more complex, integrated systems. Inadequate network isolation among systems like dynamic positioning, safety management systems, and voyage data recorders can allow a hacker to impact multiple systems at once, making recovery far more challenging.<br> <br>👉 Find out Andrew Tierney's full thoughts and breakdown on how cyber attacks could disrupt modern ship operations in our latest blog: <a href="https://www.pentestpartners.com/security-blog/cyber-threats-to-shipping-explained/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pentestpartners.com/security-b</span><span class="invisible">log/cyber-threats-to-shipping-explained/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MaritimeCybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaritimeCybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PMS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PMS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/IAMCS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IAMCS</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/NetworkSegmentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetworkSegmentation</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OperationalRisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OperationalRisk</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberAwareness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberAwareness</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ShipCyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ShipCyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/MaritimeSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MaritimeSecurity</span></a></p>
