Japan's ClassNK will assemble marine and security experts for a cross-sectional team that will examine cybersecurity to minimise risk and meet clients' needs. Among the planned measures set to be rolled out are a cybersecurity class notation for vessels, and management system certification for ships and firms. The society will also issue classification certificates to ships if they are seaworthy and meet the applicable rules and standards. The government is also considering setting up an advisory board on cyber security, which would include representatives from industry, academia and government.
