<p>The Government continues to assess both existing and emerging cyber threats to
the maritime industry, both in relation to UK-flagged vessels and UK ports, as well
as the evolving threats globally. The Department for Transport has issued Codes of
Practice for both UK-flagged vessels and ports which are tools aimed at making industry
aware of the threats and the impacts they could have on their business, as well as
providing practical and simple management solutions which, when properly applied,
can provide an effective defence against cyber attacks.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
also takes a leading role within the international maritime and security community,
through such organizations as the International Maritime Organization, to develop
awareness and promote best practice not only to improve defence but to encourage better
detection when such attacks occur.</p>
