Maritime Cybersecurity Summit 2026

Join us on 1 September 2026 during SMM to gain first-hand insights into cybersecurity regulations and maritime implementation in practice.

As digitalization, system integration and automation continue to accelerate across the shipping industry, cybersecurity has become a critical design, integration and business requirement. At the same time, manufacturers, system integrators and suppliers are navigating an increasingly complex and fast-evolving regulatory landscape.
