Claims Scenarios

Understanding the threat of a cyber attack is one thing, but recognising the events that can lead to increased risk is even more important. We are often asked to give examples of possible scenarios, and whilst identifying them all is an impossible task, we have highlighted some possible events, and the likely result.

#1 A change in schedule or delays can lead to your crew being on the ship longer than anticipated. Often left with little to occupy their time, there will inevitably be an increase in internet use on-board.

#2 The ongoing pandemic continues to change the way we work, and more importantly where we work from. If this change is not managed correctly then the risk increases significantly. Let us safeguard your business.

#3 Ensuring that in the event of credentials being compromised, your business will be well-placed to react. Detailed preparation and planning can make all the difference in the event of a cyber attack. 

#4 Cyber attacks are an effective and potentially devastating weapon, and without suitable preventative measures in place businesses are increasingly vulnerable.
