The GTMaritime Download
Welcome to the third GTMaritime Download, our regular newsletter keeping you up to speed with latest developments at GTMaritime.

A recurring theme in this edition is the broader shift to remote working triggered by the pandemic. Shore-based staff are now logging into corporate networks in much the same way as their colleagues at sea. However, challenges arise because there are subtle differences in the tools they use; but don’t worry, GTMaritime has the answers. We also introduce two short videos and, as always, offer an abundance of practical advice and technical resources to help you – and your colleagues – stay cyber-secure. Enjoy reading.
