Almost 300 of the world's leading global figures in maritime cyber security attended an annual symposium to discuss some of the key cyber challenges facing the global shipping industry.
The symposium on maritime cyber security and resilience was jointly organised by the University of Plymouth's Cyber-SHIP Lab and the International Maritime Organization (IMO).
Experts from the University and across the world shared details of the latest international maritime cyber risk evaluation and mitigation research.
They also explored how governments, industry, researchers, and NGOs can collaborate across fields including maritime autonomy, insurance, skills and training.
The speakers also addressed topics across ship, port, and maritime supply chain cyber security, including the safety of assets and people, new technologies, and policy development.
The symposium was staged in the IMO's Main Hall and was opened by Professor Judith Petts CBE, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Plymouth, who spoke about the University's position at the global forefront of maritime cyber research.
