IAPH members are invited to save the date for two special webinars focused on cybersecurity, to be held on September 10 and 11. Titled ‘Preparing for the inevitable – how ports can prepare themselves against cyber-attacks,’ the 90-minute interactive sessions, held to maximise attendance across time zones, will see port cybersecurity experts from the IAPH membership sharing their expertise alongside leading-edge technology providers. At these pre-IAPH2024 webinars, attendees will learn how ports can identify gaps in their defences, ensure that appropriate training is in place and create genuinely effective cybersecurity drills. Cybersecurity will be a major area of focus at the World Ports Conference in October, with scheduled sessions on Port Leadership in Data Collaboration and on Harmonising Port Cybersecurity Standards. In addition, University of Plymouth Cyber-SHIP Lab will deliver special Maritime Cyber Attack Mitigation Workshops on 8 and 9 October. There are limited spaces for these workshops, so attendees are encouraged to register their places soon. The September cybersecurity webinars follow two successful #IAPH2024 webinars held in June focused on the electrification challenges faced by ports, recordings of which can be viewed here and here.
