In the past several years, Red Sky Alliance has tracked vessel spoofing is seen all along the transportation supply chain. Now we are hearing that DNV Maritime has reported a cyber-attack on its ShipManager software that forced the company to take its servers offline. The incident was detected on 7 January 2023, and DNV said its experts are working with IT security partners to put in place a technical recovery plan and ensure operations are online as soon as possible.[1]
Meanwhile, users can use the onboard, offline functionalities of the software, DNV noted, adding that the Norwegian police have been notified about the incident. “At this point in time there are no indications that any other software or data by DNV is affected,” the company said in a release.
ShipManager is a modularized fleet management system that covers technical management, procurement, hull integrity management, QHSE, crewing and business intelligence. According to DNV, more than 7000 vessels owned by 300 customers use its ShipManager and Navigator solutions.
This is yet another example of cyber-attacks on the transportation supply chain, specifically the maritime industry. Ninety percent (90%) of all commerce travels via maritime convenance. It has been our experience that the maritime industry has been late to the cyber security game. But incidents like these are shaking powers that be into seriously looking at better cyber protections.
