Cyber Security

Manos Roudas, General Manager, Aspida gave a presentation entitled ''Cyber Attacks: A Minor Casualty or Today's Biggest Threat?'' at the 2015 SAFETY4SEA Athens Forum. He focused on the recent cyber threats which are a growing menace with a significant impact on operations as well as disastrous consequences for business continuity. He analysed issues in order to be secured from cyber-attacks such as the impacts of an attack, ways to be secured from threats, measures taken under attack, how to realise you have become a target, how to avoid a targeted attack, what a hacker is looking for and who is responsible to secure the company. 90% of the worlds goods come from the sea.

So lets see what people think about cyber security. Lets see what you think. Most people turn to think that it is something very technical that should only concern the IT guys. Other people believe that it is pure science fiction like Hollywood movies....
