IACS Unified Requirements on Cyber Resilience

IACS Unified Requirements on Cyber Resilience

ABS

As technologies have expanded and automation systems have become complex and integrated between systems, the probabilities for cyber-attacks increase affecting personnel, data, safety of people and vessels and the environment. The need for robust cybersecurity programs has become a critical component to the overall operations of marine assets.

Attackers may target any combination of people and technology to achieve their aim, wherever there is a network connection or any other interface between onboard systems and the external world. Safeguarding ships, and shipping in general, from current and emerging threats involves a range of measures that are continually evolving.

The recently released IACS URs, E26 and E27, were developed to establish a common set of minimum functional and performance criteria to deliver a ship that can be described as cyber resilient.
