Emerging Cyber risk Challenges in Maritime Transportation

Maritime security and surveillance have become one of the main areas in managing overall situational awareness.For example, growing importance maritime traffic cross-border trade has created new pressures to develop newtechnologies for accident prevention, especially ports. safety is also a matter concern continuitymanagement. Automatic ship alarm systems, coastal radars cameras are not alone sufficient equipment buildmaritime awareness. The Universal Shipborne Identification System (AIS) transponder system that aglobally used tracking system, but highly vulnerable hacking. A major problem arises if transponders areswitched off. Hybrid threats need coordinated hybrid responses; therefore, cyber picture needed. Cybersituational awareness an essential part management lack using real-timedata from actors affects correct formation common picture—for siteof accident.
