Return of Battleship: Live Bug Bounty for the maritime sector 2023 edition
What is Battleship?
Battleship is a live Bug Bounty program tailored to the unique challenges faced by the maritime industry. It brings together cybersecurity experts and maritime companies to proactively identify potential vulnerabilities in critical systems. The primary goal? Strengthening cybersecurity defenses before malicious actors can exploit weaknesses.
Brittany Ferries' Experience at Battleship 2022
Last year, Brittany Ferries, a prominent shipping company, took a bold step by participating in the live Bug Bounty event, Battleship 2022. When invited to join the Live Bug Bounty program by France Cyber Maritime, Brittany Ferries recognised the opportunity to evaluate the security of its booking application, despite having no prior experience in Bug Bounty.
