Recently, the boating community was shocked and saddened to learn of the loss of two lives in a fatal crash on the waters of the Indian River Lagoon. Another previously unreported incident involved a boater in St. Lucie Inlet who was knocked out of his boat while it was underway. The boater was rescued by a nearby fishing charter, but his boat sped in circles with no one at its helm. Eventually, the boat was collected. Fortunately for the boater, and others in the area, no one was critically injured or killed.

Cyber threats are a seemingly impossible challenge. By their very nature — fast-changing, borderless, asymmetric — they’re ridiculously difficult to predict and manage. No wonder the World Economic Forum has once again placed cybersecurity near the top of its latest list of global risks. Indeed, conventional wisdom holds that it’s only a matter of time before your organization is the target of a cyberattack. And while we agree with Andy Bochman, a senior cybersecurity analyst at the Idaho National Lab, that “no amount of spending on defenses will shield you completely from hackers,” we contend that you can shore up your defenses to substantially mitigate the risk.

A 203-foot cargo ship mired immobile just off Fisher Island, Florida, is not what the well-heeled residents of the Miami Beach, Forida-area community likely wanted to see out of their waterfront windows. But that was the view for a number of hours after a Panamanian-flagged cargo vessel ran aground just north of Fisher Island recently. According to the Coast Guard's Miami division, the Betty K VI got stuck after losing propulsion as it tried to navigate through Government Cut.
