It is a self-explanatory fact that the growing digitization in the maritime logistics domain is one of the driving factors towards the shipping industry’s further development. However, it is exactly this expanded use of digital applications that increases the possibility of attacks against information systems. These systems, whether located on board ships or ashore (for example within ports or at the premises of shipping companies), are today obviously quite numerous, built with standard components available on the market and in many cases designed/operated without factoring in well the associated cyber risks. It is rather unfortunate that cyber security threats can be manifested at any point of time and techniques used by the various perpetrators are getting more sophisticated over time. “Cyber Preparedness” and a clear framework facilitating the protection of high-value assets are of paramount importance. Despite the fact that cyber risk management is recently encouraged by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and numerous industry stakeholders, clearly there is still a large room for improvement.In order to be well prepared for emerging and future cyber-attacks, efficiently mitigate risks and follow an accurate and cost-efficient cybersecurity investment plan, maritime logistics actors need to base their cybersecurity strategy on a palette of innovations and even push forward for a change of mindset (cultural shift). In the current research effort, the idea of exploiting a Cyber Range solution as part of a cyber-security training platform dedicated to the maritime sector specificity is explored. Such a platform, based on innovative technologies and along with certain tailor–made training activities could facilitate to increase the level of cyber-awareness and ensure the business continuity of all involved actors. Equally important, such a platform could act as a cost-efficient training solution covering the whole maritime logistics value chain.
