ABS, a leading provider of classification and technical services to the marine and offshore industries, participated in the 32nd annual CMA Shipping Conference and Exhibition in Stamford, CT, where ABS Chief Operating Officer Tony Nassif shared his perspective on cyber-related challenges faced by the marine industry.
“The main challenge we face is that in our industry not all users of new technology understand the way the software they are using was built, how it operates, what happens when it fails and what mitigation they have,” Nassif said. “Now, our ships and assets employ a ‘system of systems’ approach that combines operational and information technology.”
Nassif spoke about how these new challenges make it an exciting time to be working for a class society, explaining how class is adapting to address these new risks. “Looking at the future, we can see that cyber and software risk are overlapping and converging, and as a result, class and industry both have to adapt. With the expansion of the regulatory environment, class is widening its remit to include verification of compliance with regulations and new topics such as cyber security.”
