Corey Ranslem to Speak on Maritime Cybersecurity at International Propeller Club Conference

Dryad Global CEO Corey Ranslem has been invited to speak at the prestigious International Propeller Club conference in Tampa, Florida, on Wednesday, October 23. The event, which gathers prominent maritime industry leaders, will feature Mr. Ranslem on a high-profile panel discussing one of the shipping industry’s most pressing challenges: cybersecurity.

As the maritime sector becomes increasingly digitized, the cybersecurity threat landscape has evolved dramatically. Ports, vessels, and entire supply chains are now highly interconnected, making them more vulnerable to disruptions that can cause operational downtime, financial losses, and reputational damage. In light of this, Dryad Global has long championed cybersecurity as a crucial element of maritime safety, not just an IT issue.
