"Are Clean Maritime Solutions Resilient to Cyber-Attacks at Sea?"

Professor Kevin Jones and Dr. Kimberly Tam at the University of Plymouth share their expertise and provide some answers regarding whether clean maritime solutions are resilient to cyberattacks at sea. Companies throughout the UK are benefiting from a funding boost aimed at accelerating the development of clean maritime solutions, which will create a supportive but competitive environment at a time when innovations and new challenges are emerging. However, in order for solutions to be long-lasting, they must be not only effective but also resilient. Many of these solutions rely heavily on cutting-edge technology, which increases their vulnerability to cyberattacks. Therefore, cybersecurity must be considered in the early phases of technological development. Only by combining efficiency and security can we ensure clean technologies' short- and long-term viability. This includes bolstering the security of the data that the technology uses and generates, and reducing the likelihood of cyber-physical effects, such as a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, which could prevent clean maritime solutions from functioning. This article continues to discuss insights on the resilience of maritime solutions to cyberattacks at sea.
