Maritime Cyber Risk Report: Shipping Industry Remains “Easy Target”, Pays Average US$3.2m In Cyberattacks

New research has found that the maritime industry remains an "easy target"…

Global industry report

Shifting Tides, Rising Ransoms and Critical Decisions

Progress on maritime cyber risk management maturity

The cost of cyber attacks is on the rise. Hackers are demanding greater ransom payments than previously and those targeted have little choice but to pay the price. Latest research shows that while the number of attacks appears to have stabilised, the cost to organisations is up by nearly 200% since early 2022.

When it comes to ransom, companies are paying on average $3.2 million. But what’s most alarming, is the demand for these payments. Since 2022, the frequency of ransom payouts has risen by more than 350%.

But it is not all doom and gloom. There has been progress in addressing cyber security concerns. 83% of shoreside employees at shipping companies believe that their organisations regularly conduct cyber training and drills.

Research conducted by Thetius in collaboration with CyberOwl and HFW suggests that there is a new approach towards managing cyber risk. However, the industry remains an easy target and finding new ways to outsmart cyber criminals is an ongoing task.

Our latest report delves into the shift we are seeing in cyber security and risk management.

What our clients say about us

We’re focused on protecting your maritime systems – so you can focus on your bottom line

Shifting you from reactive to predictive

CyberOwl builds on cutting-edge research that started its life at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom and completed at Coventry University. We are on a mission to leverage data and analytics to shift asset operators towards an active cybersecurity posture.

We understand shipping

We have invested time engaging with over 100 owners and managers to understand their pain points. We have first hand experience leading ship managers to discover how visibility and intelligence reduces cyber risk and protects their bottom line.

Built for maritime environments

Our systems were built for technically challenging maritime environments. Where connectivity and bandwidth is a challenge, the crew have limited knowledge of cyber secure practices and yet need cyber risk management to be part of their localised safety management system.
