Maritime Cyber Security is a hot topic in maritime security. The maritime environment has long been considered one of the most challenging areas for cyber security due to its complexity, size, and vastness.
- Maritime Cybersecurity is not just about protecting ships or ports. It’s also about protecting data on the ship itself (i.e., navigation systems)
- It requires coordination across multiple stakeholders, including international organizations like NATO
- There are many examples where hackers have targeted maritime assets, but there are few reports of successful attacks on maritime cyber security
Maritime cyber security is an emerging problem getting more and more attention in recent years. With maritime traffic increasing every day, the risk of maritime cyber-attacks also increases. The maritime industry is a vital part of our society in many aspects. It is becoming increasingly important as threats continue to grow – there were over 600 million instances of malware found on handheld devices in 2016 alone!
