How to prevent and recover from cyber attacks

摘要

The 2017 NotPetya malware attack AP Møller-Maersk faced in June 2017 took out most of the group's IT capabilities, caused an estimated US$250M of revenue damage and exposed Maersk's vulnerabilities and liabilities. Chief information security officer Andy Powell explained how Maersk implemented the lessons it learned as a result of this attack, at Riviera Maritime Media's Maritime Cyber Risk Management Forum in London on 25 June. He said the group took nine days to recover activity levels after suffering collateral damage from the state-backed cyber warfare. And this was only because Maersk had an offline backup in Lagos due to Nigeria suffering power outages.
