The landscape of maritime cybersecurity has evolved significantly, driven by current events, increasing digitization and the adoption of emerging technologies. These changes enhance operational capabilities, but also introduce vulnerabilities. Regulation and standards introductions have been pivotal in guiding the integration of cyber risk management into safety management systems onboard ships. However, a primary concern in maritime cybersecurity is OT systems, which are vital for the control and operation of physical shipboard processes.

001 - SBOMs Away! - LIVE
We are excited to launch our first episode with a panel discussion recorded live at the ISA OT Cybersecurity Summit in Aberdeen, Scotland. This was an awesome event with simultaneous tracks focused on supply chain and threat intelligence, and lots of information and best practices focused on how standards and conformance programs can support operational technology cybersecurity.
Panelists:
Cheri Caddy, Deputy Assistant National Cyber Director, Office of the National Cyber Director, the White House

Just a quick production note – because this was recorded live from a conference, the audio quality varies a bit depending upon the speaker. Unfortunately we had to cut a few things out, as they just could not quite be understood. All the same, the content is great and the speakers have a lot of wonderful insights to share, so thank you for bearing with us. We will take some of these lessons learned to the next time we record live from an ISA event!
