Before the Mayday: Cyber Attacks at Sea
Could Stuxnet happen again - this time at sea?
In this Threat Talks episode, host Lieuwe Jan Koning sits down with Professor Stephen McCombie, global expert in maritime cybersecurity, to unpack real-world cyber attacks on critical infrastructure and why the maritime sector is dangerously exposed.
From GPS spoofing and insider threats to aging ship systems and state-sponsored attacks, this conversation reveals how maritime cyber risk is no longer theoretical - it’s already disrupting global trade, safety, and geopolitics.
If your organization depends on shipping, ports, or industrial OT environments, this is an episode you really shouldn’t ignore.
