Strike & Delay cyber cover is designed for shipowners and charterers looking to protect their revenue streams from the effects of a delay arising from a cyber-attack. It provides cover against cyber-attacks on ships, but also cyber-attacks against onshore infrastructure, which can in turn lead to vessel delays at a port.

In this episode of ‘Alongside’, we look at the threat of cyber-attacks in the maritime industry. As the sector becomes more and more reliant on connected technology, we ask how much of a threat is there and what needs to be done to counter those threats. Our host Kait Borsay is joined by Daniel Ng, CEO of Cyber Owl, a company which helps asset operators in the maritime and critical national infrastructure sectors manage cyber risks and ensure cyber compliance. We also hear from Georgie Furness-Smith, Senior Cyber Underwriter and Head of Maritime Cyber at AXIS Capital.
