Maritime Cybersecurity

Beschreibung

This book highlights the importance of cybersecurity in the maritime domain, including the human and societal aspects of both cyber-crime and cyber-defense. The authors present mechanisms for early detection and prevention of cyber-attacks, as well as security protocols based on testbed nautical simulator experiments, machine learning algorithms and artificial intelligence applications. This collection of research articles addresses the ethical, societal and technical aspects of maritime cybersecurity and offers solutions to mitigate the threat of cyber-attacks. The book is designed to help both researchers and stakeholders across the maritime ecosystem, including shipping and port logistics. Research findings are presented in the following areas: human factors in maritime cyber security, cyber security awareness and skills of seafarers, vulnerabilities in electronic maritime navigation on manned and unmanned vessels, internal and external attack vectors on bridge and propulsion systems, cyber security threats and countermeasures in seaports. The book serves as a handbook for those professionally involved in or interested in cybersecurity of IT and OT systems.

• This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access. 
• Enriched with solutions in the ethical, regulatory, and technical levels of maritime cybersecurity;
• Presents considerations of cybersecurity defense techniques supported by analyses carried out on a nautical simulator;
• Emphasizes the importance of protection against cyber-attacks at operational, tactical, and strategic levels.

“This volume makes an important contribution to maritime studies by establishing cybersecurity as a core domain of maritime governance, safety, and operations. It advances the field by integrating technical innovation with social, educational, and institutional analysis. The book is particularly valuable in positioning maritime cybersecurity as a systemic challenge that requires coordinated responses across disciplines and sectors. By bridging theory and practice, the volume contributes to both academic research and professional application.” (Susan Harrington, WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs, Vol. 25 (1), 2026)
