SYNOPSIS

Introduction:

In today’s ever-changing landscape, the rise in uncertainty and geopolitical risks increases the likelihood of facing significant cybersecurity challenges in the coming years. The global shipping industry, involving numerous countries, is notably susceptible to cybersecurity issues, as seen in major incidents such as the 2017 Maersk cyber-attack and a recent breach in Australia’s ports. 

Maritime cybersecurity is complex, encompassing ship systems, satellite communications, the integration of new 5G technology, and dynamic information exchanges between ships and ports. 

Singapore serves as a base for several Norwegian shipping and maritime companies. Norwegian firms can play a crucial role in Singapore by providing essential technologies, consultancy services, and solutions to tackle cybersecurity challenges. 

Organized by The Royal Norwegian Embassy, Innovation Norway, and Norwegian Business Association Singapore, the Singapore Norway Maritime Cyber Forum aims to explore emerging cybersecurity trends, engage in discussions about effective mitigation strategies, gain insights into the current state of rules and regulations, and understand new initiatives undertaken by the government and industry players. Additionally, the forum seeks to identify potential areas for collaboration between Norway and Singapore. 

Event Structure: 

This full-day event will feature insightful sessions with dedicated time for lunch and tea breaks, fostering networking opportunities and facilitating discussions on the critical subject of maritime cybersecurity. Additionally, the forum will touch on training and research aspects to provide a holistic perspective on cybersecurity challenges and solutions within the maritime industry.
