Four modules. Every maritime operator, protected.
Modern ships run on systems designed before cybersecurity existed. ECDIS, IPMS, AIS, GPS — these are Operational Technology systems that control physical machinery. When they're compromised, the consequences aren't data loss. They're engine failures, navigation errors, and cargo incidents.
This course was built to give maritime professionals — bridge officers, engineers, fleet managers, DPAs — the knowledge they need to understand, identify, and manage cyber threats to OT systems without needing an IT background.
From fundamentals to action — in four sessions.
OT Fundamentals for Maritime Operators
The conceptual foundation every officer needs — no IT experience required.
Officers can name every OT system on their vessel and articulate exactly how a cyber incident could affect its operation — before the course ends.
Maritime Cyber Threats — What Attackers Actually Do
Threat models built for maritime context — not generic IT threat catalogues.
Officers can identify behavioral indicators of each attack type and know the correct immediate response for the vessel context.
Compliance Frameworks — What the Rules Require
Mandatory requirements, classification society expectations, and port state control — without the legal jargon.
Officers and DPAs can walk through a port state control inspection's cyber component and answer every standard question with documented evidence.
Gap Assessment — Finding and Fixing Your Weaknesses
A structured five-stage methodology to assess any vessel's cyber posture — without calling an external consultant.
Fleet managers and DPAs leave with a completed gap assessment template and a prioritized remediation roadmap they can present to ownership.
The ships carrying your cargo run on 20-year-old systems connected to satellite internet. That's not a metaphor. That's the attack surface.
Maritime OT Cybersecurity — ODIN
What sets this apart from generic cybersecurity training.
Maritime-First Language
Bridge watch terminology, SOLAS comparisons, vessel operational rhythms — not corporate IT metaphors. A chief engineer understands IPMS risk, not "SCADA vulnerabilities."
Physical Consequences Focus
OT attacks cause engine failures and navigation errors — not just data loss. Every module grounds cyber risk in physical, operational, and commercial consequences officers already understand.
Compliance-Mapped
Every concept traced to IMO, BIMCO, IEC 62443, or NIST. Learners understand what regulators require — not just what's considered best practice — and why those requirements exist.
