You never know what future holds in store for you. I got mail from Wärtsilä today.  Wärtsilä establishes a world-class cyber academy in Singapore together with Templar Executives. “Cybercrime damages are predicted to cost the world 6 trillion dollars annually by 2021,” says Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO at Templar Executives and continues: “The NotPetya attack last year put the maritime industry firmly on the radar, highlighting the need for a paradigm shift in response to the escalating cyber threats. Our ground-breaking initiative with Wärtsilä aims at creating the first ever maritime cyber emergency response team to support the industry on a global scale.”
