Maritime Cyber Security Awareness E-Learning Course
Address your greatest cyber security vulnerability!
Your benefit – How it works
Each user will receive an individual access code for the course and an electronic certificate upon successful completion. This makes it possible to keep track of and verify who has done the training. The course is available online, which means it can run from every computer with Internet access, or on board the vessel via our Seagull CBT distributor.
The set-up
- Module 1: Your role as a user in cyber security – This module starts with raising awareness that software is not just found in obvious IT systems, but also embedded in many types of equipment essential for operating ships and offshore assets. Concrete examples of cyber-attacks on ships and offshore platforms are used to explain the importance of each individual for cyber security and the role the crew play in protecting themselves and the company against cyber-attacks.
- Module 2: Common threats & traps – The module focuses on typical threats, such as phishing or hacker attempts trying to trick you into installing malicious software. The participant learns how to detect such cyber-attacks and what actions to take.
- Module 3: Good practices towards cyber security – Through illustrative examples, the module communicates good practices such as proper handling of personal mobile devices, USB sticks, passwords and remote connections.
In addition to the three awareness modules, we offer another module for IT managers and those involved in cyber barrier management.- Cyber management module: Cyber security countermeasures – This module applies lessons from the first three modules. Countermeasures cover preventive measures (e.g. updating antivirus software) and reactive measures (e.g. procedures after a detected security breach). The module reminds participants that their behaviour is actually a key countermeasure in their company’s cyber security.
