Crew Cyber Awareness Training

What is Crew Cyber Awareness Training?

Crew Cyber Awareness Training equips vessel officers and ratings with the knowledge to recognise, avoid, and report cyber threats encountered in their daily duties. Human error remains the leading cause of maritime cyber incidents, with crew members targeted through phishing emails, malicious USB devices, and social engineering attacks. Under the new USCG cybersecurity rules effective July 2025, all personnel must complete cybersecurity training by January 2026. Our training programme covers phishing and social engineering recognition, safe use of personal devices onboard, secure email and internet practices, USB and removable media policies, incident reporting procedures, and role-specific training for officers responsible for navigation and OT systems.

We are available 24/7 to help secure your maritime operations.
