CyberOwl, HFW, Thetius – The Lifecycle Dilemma

The main theme of the report concerns managing cybersecurity risks at all stages of a vessel's lifecycle: from design and construction to operation.

Key findings include the need to integrate cybersecurity from the very beginning of vessel design, rather than as a reaction to emerging threats. The document also discusses the complexity of integrating modern solutions into legacy systems, the necessity of preparing the crew for real cyberattack scenarios, and the challenges of insurance policies and exclusions.
