Maritime

The Challenge: Evolving Security Operations Needs

  • Threat Icon

    Complex and Diverse Infrastructure

    Maritime operations rely on a mix of IT systems (e.g., communication networks, enterprise software) and OT systems (e.g., navigation systems, cargo handling equipment). Many maritime systems are outdated and were not designed with modern cybersecurity threats in mind, making them difficult to secure.

    Cyber-Physical Risks

    The convergence of IT and OT increases the risk of cyber-attacks that can have physical consequences, such as disrupting navigation systems or cargo operations. The maritime sector is part of a global supply chain, and attacks like ransomware or data breaches on any part of the chain can have cascading effects.

    Human Factors

    Crew members and port staff may lack awareness and training in cybersecurity practices, making them susceptible to social engineering attacks. Employees or contractors with access to critical systems may intentionally or unintentionally compromise security.

    Engine and Machinery Control Systems

    These systems, which control propulsion, power generation, and other essential functions, can be targeted to cause operational disruptions or physical damage.

    Cargo Handling Systems

    Automated cargo handling and management systems in ports are critical for efficiency but can be targeted to disrupt logistics and supply chains.

    Insider Threats

    Employees with access to OT systems can unintentionally or maliciously cause disruptions. Ensuring robust access control and monitoring is crucial to mitigate these risks.

    Regulatory and Compliance Challenges

    Keeping up with international cybersecurity regulations and standards can be challenging for maritime organizations. Maritime operations often span multiple countries, complicating compliance and enforcement efforts.
