Vessels cybersecurity is recently gaining momentum, as a result of a few recent attacks to vessels at sea. These recent attacks have shacked the maritime domain, which was thought to be relatively immune to cyber threats. The cited belief is now over, as proved by recent mandates issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). According to these regulations, all vessels should be the subject of a cybersecurity risk analysis, and technical controls should be adopted to mitigate the resulting risks. This initiative is laudable since, despite the recent incidents, the vulnerabilities and threats affecting modern vessels are still unclear to operating entities, leaving the potential for dreadful consequences of further attacks just a matter of "when", not "if".In this contribution, we investigate and systematize the major security weaknesses affecting systems and communication technologies adopted in modern vessels. Specifically, we describe the architecture and main features of the different systems, pointing out their main security issues, and specifying how they were exploited by attackers to cause service disruption and relevant financial losses. We also identify a few countermeasures to the introduced attacks. Finally, we highlight a few research challenges to be addressed by industry and academia to strengthen vessels security.

“…In addition, Tables 1 and 2 present a taxonomic representation and classification of security solutions for common threats and attacks on aircraft avionics. Foremost, Bernsmed et al [56] discussed the need for securing data-link services in future aircraft control domains in accordance with different security threats. Furthermore, they also presented various security requirements for future SATCOM data-link systems for ATM.…”

A Review of Recent Advances and Security Challenges in Emerging E-Enabled Aircraft Systems

The continuing increase in air traffic, along with airline operators gradually adopting IP-based network technologies, has led to the transformational concept of e-Enabled or ''connected'' aircraft. This new framework envisions a single aeronautical communications architecture connecting across the entire spectrum of the aviation sector. However, due to the complex and multidimensional nature of aviation operations, no single technology can achieve the above goal. Instead, building an integrated system which uses multiple communication protocols and architectures, as well as cloud computing and big data analytics, is the most promising way forward. Hence this paper surveys the latest trends in emerging network communication systems for commercial aviation. A range of cyber-threats is then identified for the e-Enabled aircraft paradigm, followed by discussions on related solution methodologies. Note that the topics related to military aviation security are not considered here.INDEX TERMS Security, connected aircraft, e-Enabled aircraft, aircraft communication, threats. I. INTRODUCTIONAircraft communications is evolving from a conventional radar-based setup to a highly-networked framework via the gradual infusion of many wireless communication technologies, e.g., such as satellite communications (SATCOM), Wi-Max, L-band Digital Aeronautical Communication Systems (LDCAS), Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B), Aeronautical Mobile Airport Communication System (Aero-MACS), etc. In this new e-Enabled aircraft paradigm, it is envisioned that all key aviation applications and services will be connected to a single integrated communication system built using a range of technologies, e.g., Internet Protocol (IP) networking, global positioning system (GPS) satellites, and other radio frequency (RF) systems (Figure 2). In particular, notable evolutions hereThe associate editor coordinating the review of this manuscript and approving it for publication was Muhammad Khandaker.
