Abstract
Commercial ships are increasingly equipped with a lot of equipment, automation systems, modern information technology based on computers and the internet. This also means that there are always cyberattacks, which can have a serious impact on the maritime industry.
Vietnamese seafarers have limited knowledge of cyber security. Many seafarers are still not fully aware of the dangers and consequences, as well as the types of cyber attacks against ships to take effective preventive measures. Even in the content of security training programs for crews (with certification), did not mention the issue of cyber security and network security for ships.
With purpose to raise the awareness of cybersecurity for Vietnamese seafarers, the article highlights the ways in which cyber attacks are used as well as highlighting the weakest target seafarers and proposing solutions on how to eliminate, minimize threats or to avoid falling foul of an attack cyber.
