Build a Human-Centric maritime transportation cybersecurity protection system based on MARITIME

Abstract

As a critical infrastructure, maritime transportation is facing increasing cyber security threats. The existing protection methods have obvious deficiencies in dealing with the specific human factors in this field, the wide distribution of ships and regional differences.To this end, we propose MARITIME, a new human-centric and system resilience-oriented cybersecurity framework to enhance the defense and resilience of maritime transportation systems under complex cyber attacks.The framework systematically divides the process of cybersecurity preparedness and response into two phases, covering four core capabilities of prevention, awareness raising, threat detection, and system recovery. It also supports flexible and customizable deployment strategies to adapt to diverse operational environments.Through the verification of several typical use cases, MARITIME shows good effectiveness and adaptability in the real maritime situation, and provides a feasible path for improving the security of the shipping system.
