CyberOwl invites you to our maritime cybersecurity conference in Tokyo, Cybersecure at Sea 2023: Handling a fleet cyber crisis
At the centre of this conference, we will explore the themes of tackling maritime cyber risk, a new risk, and balancing innovation and security. Attendees will experience what it is like to survive a cyber incident on fleet operations. We will work through the commercial, operational, legal, insurance, communication and reputational implications of a cyber incident. We will explore what responsibilities and actions each stakeholder in the value chain should own – charterer, shipowner, ship manager, insurer and wider suppliers.
This year we have hosted in-person events in Singapore, Athens, Oslo, and Hong Kong. We’re now hosting a conference in Tokyo.
This is our 4th conference. We promise it will be a sales-free environment genuinely focused on learning and building a global support network.
