WPSP Port Community Cyber Security White Paper ensures ports accurately understand and correctly define cyber security, conduct a gap analysis and take a measured, step-by-step approach towards cyber resilience.
Specifically, the fifteen-page White Paper has been put together by IAPH in association with ICHCA International and TT Club, with the idea for it originally emerging from a meeting between the contributors at the TT Club offices in London, during the 2019 edition of London International Shipping Week.
Each chapter in the paper explores a different dimension of the cyber conundrum, with practical recommendations, advice and examples. These include :
- Why cyber security is such a vital issue for port communities looking at trade, regulatory, geo-political and defense dimensions.
- The importance of ‘speaking the same language’ around cyber security
- What is commonly missing in port community cyber security and practical suggestions on steps to increase cyber resilience.
- The essential building blocks for a cyber resilient port community.
- Current cyber security provisions in the IMO rules and the potential evolution of the Port Facility Security Officer role for the future.
IAPH Managing Director Patrick Verhoeven in the White Paper’s foreword commented that
With the world’s attention now focused on exiting from lockdowns and preparing for a ‘new normal’, there is an urgent need for inter-governmental organisations, governments and industry stakeholders concerned with maritime trade and logistics to come together and accelerate the pace of digitalization so that port communities across the world can at least offer a basic package of electronic commerce and data exchange.
