Cyber Security on SeaPorts-A Quick Cursor
Vivek Gujar · Research Journal of Information Technology & Software Management · 2018
Critical infrastructure like seaports are bloodline of country's business and are directly or indirectly depend on the imports, exports, and domestic shipping conducted at seaports. Because of the dominance of certain seaports in specific sectors, cascading impacts on critical infrastructure depend on which seaports are disrupted.As a consequence, there is an increased dependency on electronic communication and processes with little human interaction. The flip side of these operational benefits is that ICT systems can be extremely vulnerable to cyber attack.The attacks are everchanging and dynamic of nature. Mitigation of attacks are discussed with examples. Best practices can greatly reduce these vulnerabilties.
