CYBER SECURITY - UPDATE 3

If not now, when? Cyber breaches in the Australian maritime sector

The recent DP World Australia cyber incident and ongoing delays of operations means that:
  1. many cargo owners may incur losses they may consider covered under a policy of marine cargo insurance;
  2. freight forwarders are prevented from collecting goods from ports and delivering them to their end user; and
  3. operators in the Australian transport and logistics space are reminded they are not immune from a cyber-attack, and must be planning (and practising) how they will respond to such an attack.
Please refer to the following commentary provided by FTA / APOSA legal counsel, Mills Oakley addressing:
  1. Marine Cargo Insurance – What is the Cyber deal?
  2. Freight Forwarders – The Piggy In the Middle
  3. Planning for (and Practising) Cyber-Attacks – What to Do When It Happens
