(either commercial or military) had spread out on in this rapidly becoming “information-dependent” and “inter-connected” shipping industry, cyber risk finally become a threat [1]. As the matter turned into business, many solutions have been developed in order to grant cyber-security, at every user level (i.e.: personal, office, enterprise, server farm). Could these solutions completely protect a ship themselves? How much a ship-owner has to invest in cyber-security? How he could efficiently face cyber-threat? This kind of questions generally have no straight answer because nobody can find a proper solution without a proper assessment, tailored on the specific case of context. This work is intended to advise ship owners on the importance of an effective cyber-risk assessment before the choose of a cyber-security solution and, in the meantime, it suggests a simple way to conduct it, formulated on the basis of classical risk-assessment procedures.
