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.
