Cyber Risk Management with Caitlyn Stewart

Cybersecurity has been an area of increasing focus for both the Coast Guard and the maritime industry over the past several years due to high-profile cyber attacks and accidents that have disrupted, or had the potential to disrupt, the continuity of maritime commerce. But, where does a company that’s looking to make itself more cyber-secure begin? Watch a recording of AWO’s webinar, Cyber Risk Management: Best Practices for the Towing Industry, Version 1.0, featuring insights from AWO Director – Regulatory Affairs Caitlyn Stewart on the Coast Guard-AWO Cyber Risk Management Quality Action Team’s new tool designed to help you get started.

Development of the guide was informed by recognized fatigue experts and the U.S. Coast Guard, which supports its integration into AWO member company safety management systems.
