From Cyber Defense to Information Warfare: Technical Roadmapping Study and Gaps in Maritime Cybersecurity

Abstract:

Maritime Transportation Systems are considered critical infrastructure and systemic risk which can trigger cascade effects to impacting operations, the economy, and national security. Maritime cybersecurity systems currently face challenges, and a lack of structured frameworks to prioritize R&D investments and technological development. This study aims to systematically analyze maritime cybersecurity using a Technology Roadmapping (TRM) approach structured around the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), integrating a qualitative analysis of themes from the perspectives of people, technology, and governance across six functional areas. TRM facilitates the identification of drivers, capability gaps, technologies, and R&D priorities, to address these limitations. The findings highlight that maritime cybersecurity should be treated as a system-of-systems problem that requires the integration of IT, OT, and cyber-physical systems, as well as automation and real-time capabilities supported by human-Artificial Intelligence (AI) collaboration.
