When hackers hack – information security when it really matters

Blue Water Shipping A/S provides global logistics services by road, rail, sea, air or what else is needed to fulfil their customers’ requirements and expectations. The company has 60 offices globally where 1750 employees work together with customers to find transport solutions to almost all challenges.

Since its establishment in 1972, Blue Water Shipping A/S has focused on quality, a safe working climate and minimising environmental effects. The company is certified according to global standards like ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety). The company’s services are supported by a global IT system ensuring that customers can always track packages, containers, ships, etc. and thus stay abreast of their deliveries. Therefore, the company very much depends on its IT systems, and it has – like other companies in the transport business – been attacked by hackers. This has made Blue Water Shipping A/S focus even more on how the company can work actively with information security and preventive measures. Hear more about how a hacker attack looks from the inside and receive – perhaps highly valuable – information about how companies can increase their cybersecurity.
