COMMENT: EVERY SUBMARINER’S NIGHTMARE
News that an Indonesian Navy submarine has sunk for unknown reasons in the Bali Sea during a torpedo drill raises questions about current safety standards.

SETTING SAIL EAST

FIGHTING THE BYTES
Robust cybersecurity for vessels and operations is not optional for navies – it is a necessity requiring a holistic approach.
