Identity Is the Cybersecurity Perimeter in Maritime Operations
The maritime sector has become a frontline in cybersecurity conflict, with nation-state actors targeting vessels, ports, and shipyards to disrupt operations and gain strategic advantage.
As connectivity expands across navigation, propulsion, and cargo systems, cyber risk is no longer just an IT problem, but a direct threat to maritime safety, continuity, and global trade.
Maritime environments pose unique cybersecurity challenges due to the combination of aging technology, harsh conditions, and a global web of third parties.
- Vessels operate for decades with onboard systems that were never designed for remote access or modern cybersecurity threats.
- Shipyards rely on industrial control systems that often lack basic security controls.
- Ports depend on highly integrated logistics platforms that expose sensitive interfaces to external partners.
