Critical infrastructures cybersecurity and the maritime sector
Open accessAbstract
The paper addresses cyber-security in the maritime field, a sector increasingly vulnerable to cyber-attacks due to advances that are already in the process of implementation. This paper explores the level of knowledge and training required on the subject and its interaction with marine ecosystem. For this reason, we will carry out a deep bibliographic review in which we will support our later study. We will analyze the results obtained in an online questionnaire answered by experienced maritime professionals. The results show a lack of general knowledge in the field of maritime cybersecurity. Therefore, it is necessary to increase training levels in the maritime sector and the port interface connection with the supply chain.

The emergence of the IoT in ICS has led to new security challenges, which will require newly developed expertise to prepare for a wide variety of attacks that may emerge from the integration of these systems.
“The emergence of the IoT in ICS has led to new security challenges, which will require newly developed expertise to prepare for a wide variety of attacks that may emerge from the integration of these systems [65,66,67,68,69].”

The State of the art (section 1.1; page unavailable) links interconnected IoT devices to security threats and separately warns of attacks on industrial controls and SCADA. The Conclusion (section 5; page unavailable) calls for stronger maritime cybersecurity training. Neither passage says that IoT–ICS integration itself creates these challenges or requires newly developed expertise to prepare for attacks arising from that integration. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
