MPA to strengthen shipboard cybersecurity training

The exercise will simulate cyber threats targeting OT systems onboard vessels.

The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has commissioned the Maritime Testbed of Shipboard Operational Technology (MariOT) system to strengthen shipboard cybersecurity training.

The exercise will simulate cyber threats targeting OT systems onboard vessels, testing participants’ ability to detect cyber intrusions and carry out the appropriate incident response protocols.

MPA also plans to integrate MariOT training into academic curricula for maritime-related courses through partnerships with Institutes of Higher Learning.

Over the next three years, more than 300 students and professionals, including ship crew, cybersecurity professionals, and port operators, will benefit from the initiative.

Singapore University of Technology and Design will host the inaugural MariOT cybersecurity training exercise from 27 to 28 March 2025.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
