Cybersecurity in Autonomous Ships and Maritime Logistics
Autonomous ships are being explored as the future of maritime logistics, but their reliance on GPS, communication networks, and digital navigation systems makes them vulnerable to cyber threats. If hacked, these ships could be rerouted or shut down, disrupting global supply chains and potentially leading to accidents. Cybersecurity strategies, including encrypted communication, constant system monitoring, and multi-layered security protocols, are critical for ensuring the safe operation of autonomous maritime logistics.
