SUMMARY:2023 GMTSC Symposium - Cyber-SHIP Lab (Plymouth University) Present
 ation
DESCRIPTION:Disrupting Australian Trade  A Maritime Cyber-Attack: Presentat
 ion by CyberSHIP Lab (University of Plymouth) Like many ports across the w
 orld the Port of Fremantle has a long history of being an important nexus 
 between land and sea. Officially opened in 1897\, the harbour and its acce
 ss to the Swan River\, has played a major role in Western Australias devel
 opment. It is the busiest cargo port in Western Australia\, used by a mixe
 d fleet including container ships\, cruise ships and military vessels\, ma
 king the port a strategically significant point in Australias national and
  economic security. This\, along with the global demand for larger ships\,
  which themselves are becoming increasingly digitally connected\, make the
  port susceptible to cyber-physical attacks. These attacks make use of man
 y of the founding features of the port\, including its physical geography 
 and could have a significant impact at a local\, regional\, and national l
 evel.\n\nThe University of Plymouth presentation will play out a carefully
  crafted\, realistic scenario in which an attacker is able to compromise a
  container vessels propulsion and steering equipment as it enters the Port
  of Fremantle. The attack\, developed in University of Plymouths Cyber-SHI
 P lab\, will demonstrate how\, through a simple social engineering attack\
 , the malicious actor can get malware across the land-sea airgap. On activ
 ation\, the malware compromises the command-and-control communications of 
 critical ship systems\, causing the ship to change its course. Through the
  aid of visualisation this presentation will illustrate the impact that th
 is attack could have on the Port of Fremantle\, including the long- term e
 conometric implications.\n\nThe presented scenario represents a worst-case
  scenario for the port\, developed using publicly available information\, 
 that a motivated group\, or individual could replicate. However\, as the c
 onclusions of this presentation will discuss\, there are various procedura
 l and technological measures ranging from simple to complex that could be 
 implemented to mitigate the risks of such an attack.
