Multi-Purpose Cyber Environment for Maritime Sector

The cyber attack surface in a maritime environment is constantly growing. More current information and computer technologies are being used on cargo passenger ships to save operational costs increase navigational safety. Along with the growing reliance automation, risk of disruption vessel's critical systems by drawing wrong inputs from sensors change behaviour actuators has significantly increased. Traditional technological much more complicated update than automatic software updates we see technology systems. To better understand existing threats sector cybersecurity resilience, this paper aims replicate digital components ship's bridge examine scenarios when system loses connectivity, receives sensors, or internal becomes compromised. simulator differentiates fundamentally traditional simulators twins that focus training seafarers. This generates data streams similar those board ship. Those can be analysed, modified spoofed observe effects. effects technical but it equally necessary analyse how human beings would react specific circumstances. Our work provides opportunity isolate ship network traffic, conduct penetration testing, find vulnerabilities devices, execute attacks without dangers associated running such vessel open sea.
