Maritime operations are undergoing significant digital transformation, accompanied by a rising incidence of cyber-attacks that profoundly affect the global supply chain. Consequently, traditional cybersecurity approaches are evolving toward the concept of cyber resilience, which adopts a dynamic and multifaceted approach. Within this landscape, this paper analyses eight cyber-attacks targeting maritime organizations, including ports and shipping companies. Utilizing Dupont et al.’s cyber resilience framework, the analysis draws on secondary sources such as annual reports and trade publications. The findings highlight critical yet underrepresented areas, notably post-event knowledge management. Preliminary recommendations are proposed to guide policymakers and maritime organizations in strengthening their cyber resilience.
