A new set of security consulting services will be provided by the partnership with a focus on understanding operational threats and how they may be predicted by technical threats and vulnerabilities.
The partners believe that this focus on operational technology (OT) is crucial to provide knowledge of the complex systems and relationships of the maritime industry.
To support this effort, Moran has already launched MoranCyber as a resource.
Moran Shipping Agencies CEO Jim Black said: “This is not just a win for both Moran and NCC Group, but also sets a standard of excellence for cybersecurity within the maritime space.”
