Cyber Security Awareness for Shipping

Cyber threats have become one of the fastest-growing risks facing the maritime industry. From phishing attacks and ransomware incidents to navigation system vulnerabilities and supply chain compromises, cyber security is now a critical component of safe and compliant vessel operations.

Matau-Marine provides practical cyber security training and advisory services designed specifically for the maritime sector, helping shipowners, managers, and crews strengthen their cyber resilience and meet regulatory requirements.

Our cyber security programmes combine regulatory compliance with practical operational awareness. Designed for both shipboard and shore-based personnel, the training focuses on real-world threats, behavioural awareness, and effective risk mitigation measures.

Whether preparing for audits, implementing cyber risk management procedures, or improving crew awareness, our programmes help organizations reduce cyber vulnerabilities and strengthen operational resilience.

• Phishing and social engineering attacks
• Ransomware and malware incidents
• Unauthorized access to shipboard systems
