Prevention and Handling of Cybersecurity Attacks
The threat of cyber-attack in the shipping industry is growing. The video will assist seafarers to understand the most common types of cyber threat, the procedures to adopt that will minimise the chance of a successful attack, and how to detect the threat and respond should an attack occur.
Be Safe from Financial Fraud
The ever-growing use of technology in daily life, provides an opportunity for criminals to target individuals to perpetrate financial fraud. Seafarers need to be aware of this surge in fraudulent activity. The programme examines different types of financial fraud, how to protect against them and avoid becoming a victim.
Safe Use of Mobile Devices and the Internet Onboard
Internet connectivity is now widely available at sea. It provides contact with family and friends that greatly reduces the sense of isolation that seafarers might otherwise experience. However, it also introduces potential threats to cyber and personal data security. This programme addresses shipboard cyber security protection, safeguarding personal data, and the risks of social media usage.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation applies within the EU, but also has relevance to entities in other countries that trade with the EU, or which handle information relating to EU citizens. A breach of the requirements of the GDPR can result in substantial penalties, and this programme examines compliance with the GDPR from the perspective of a shipping company.
