#63 Cyber Security On Board: Keeping It Simple and Staying Secure

In this episode, Matt Batchelor and Ewan Ferguson from our Compliance team take a practical look at cyber security on board - breaking it down into simple, everyday actions that can make a real difference.From email risks and compromised accounts to passwords, multi‑factor authentication and emerging tools like passkeys, the conversation focuses on how cyber incidents often start with small moments - and how awareness and good habits can help prevent them.The episode highlights the importance of treating digital access with the same level of care as physical onboard safety, and reinforces that effective cyber security doesn’t need to be complicated - but it does require consistency, awareness, and shared responsibility across the crew.Topics CoveredCommon cyber risks on boardEmail security and phishing awarenessPasswords, MFA and passkeysManaging digital access and onboard systemsPractical steps crew can take to stay secureCyber security as part of everyday safety cultureFollow us on Instagram @burgessyachtcrew
