There is a disconnect between the increasing risk to maritime businesses posed by Cyber attacks and the defences being erected in response. So as UK president Joe Biden was declaring it a "patriotic obligation" for businesses to bridge that gap, Lloyd’s List and Insurance Day were busy this week gathering the industry’s leading experts for a frank discussion of the evolving threat to shipping and how standardisation, transparency and a significant uptick in funding are required to avert a looming crisis.

This week Lloyd’s List teamed up with our colleagues and friends at Insurance Day for a timely webinar looking at the cyber threat to maritime and the insurance industry's response.

This week’s edition of the podcast offers some highlights from the live event, but a full recording of the webinar is available, for free. Register at Lloydslist.com or Insuranceday.com and listen at your leisure.
