The course emphasizes execution-level interaction with maritime IT and OT systems and focuses on cybersecurity conditions that may arise during routine operations and abnormal events. Instruction is designed to be accessible to non-technical maritime personnel and emphasizes recognizing cyber-relevant conditions, assessing potential operational impacts, and determining appropriate response or escalation actions rather than performing technical system configuration or analysis.
Within this scope, participants assess maritime cyberspace environments to identify IT and OT components, their interconnections, and their relevance to operational risk. Participants analyze mission-critical maritime technologies and network architectures to determine how system dependencies and security controls influence operational resilience.
The course further addresses cyber threats to maritime operations through the identification of attack vectors, potential impacts, and points of vulnerability within maritime IT and OT environments. Participants apply maritime cybersecurity incident response procedures to select, initiate and justify appropriate response and escalation actions under realistic operational conditions.
