The proposed talk will focus on cybersecurity within the maritime industry and its intricate ties to
Industrial Control Systems (ICS) domains. This session will dissect the essence of cybersecurity for
ships, covering the spectrum from understanding threats and actual cyber attacks to fortifying
networks, implementing risk management strategies, and offering actionable recommendations.
We'll delve into the specifics, examining the unique challenges faced in securing maritime networks
against unauthorized access and potential breaches. Additionally, we'll explore comprehensive risk
management tactics tailored specifically for maritime operations, emphasizing the importance of
proactive measures to address cybersecurity threats effectively.
A highlight of this talk will be a compelling case study illustrating the intricacies of threat modeling
for a cruise ship. By dissecting vulnerabilities and devising preventive measures, attendees will gain a
tangible understanding of enhancing onboard security measures.
Moreover, our discussion will extend beyond the maritime sphere, exploring the interconnected
nature of cybersecurity across various ICS industries. Understanding these connections is pivotal in
comprehending the broader implications and implementing collaborative strategies for a robust
cybersecurity framework.
