ICT PROTECT: Maritime Cybersecurity Trends and Regulatory Drivers

Recently presented on Maritime Cybersecurity from a GRC perspective in ISC2 Hellenic Chapter - supported by Ammitec.

Key topics covered in our presentation "Maritime Cybersecurity Trends and Regulatory Drivers":
• The increasing convergence of IT & OT in maritime operations
• Threat scenarios driven by vessel digitalization and interconnected OT systems
• Regulatory landscape (IMO, IACS, NIS2, US Coast Guard) and its impact on operators
• Structuring cybersecurity through risk assessment, controls mapping, and continuous compliance
• Managing multi-framework audits and aligning them within a unified GRC approach
• Addressing third-party and supply chain risk in maritime ecosystems

The goal: move from fragmented compliance efforts to a holistic, risk-driven cybersecurity strategy across fleets.

At ICT PROTECT, we are working towards this direction by integrating risk management, compliance, and third-party assessment into a single GRC platform (STORM GRC), helping organizations simplify audits and gain real-time visibility across their security posture.
