PASSENGER VESSEL DESIGNS: OPTIMIZED FOR PROFITABILITY SAFETYMATTERS • Software Updates: Updates pushed out by software companies are done to correct known issues such as security vulnerabilities. Updat • Back Up Data: All data should be backed up to a secondary source (i.e. hard drive, cloud storage). This will provide a redundant safety feature in the event of a breach, system crash, or malfunction. • Employ a Cyber Security Framework: Companies may want to review and implement a more advanced system (e.g. the NIST framework) to increase cyber security. Final Thought – Crew and Personnel Training The best hardware and software is no match for an errant click of the mouse. Like vampires, most hackers need to be let inside to do the most damage. Impress upon company personnel the need to be vigilant of phishing schemes and other attempts by bad actors to gain access to company information. Emails from vessels, shipping agents and even company personnel asking to click links or provide sensitive company information should be suspect. Hovering or clicking on addresses are quick ways to determine authenticity. Also, know where thumb drives, portable hard drives, and anything else someone wants to stick into your computer have been. Scanning them for viruses should be routine. n PVA WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS Annapolis Maritime Museum Ms. Sarah Krizek Annapolis, MD Vessel Member www.amaritime.org Freedom Cruise Line Mr. Jack Sheeran Harwich Port, MA Vessel Member www.freedomferry.com Pennant Enterprises Mr. Michael Rutstein Salem, MA Vessel Member www.schoonerfame.com Interstate Power Systems Mr. Adam Blum Lakeville, MN Associate Member www.istate.com KALM Seas Insurance, Inc.
