Maritime Transportation System Cyber Attacks and Mitigation Strategies (3rd of 3 videos)

In this final video in the series on maritime cybersecurity, we review the maritime transportation system (MTS) as a systems of systems; discuss its reliance on information communication technologies; and describe theoretical and actual cyber attacks, in particular, attacks on the Automatic Identification System and Global Navigation Satellite System (e.g., spoofing attacks). Dr. Gary Kessler provides a simulated spoofing attack on AIS, and finally, we provide a broad overview of mitigation strategies for cyber attacks on the maritime transportation system.
This video series is one of several series providing an overview of applications of cybersecurity normally not discussed in information technology or cybersecurity courses (e.g., maritime, aviation, supply chain, etc.). These videos help broaden students' understanding of how cybersecurity affects various domains.
The intended audiences for the video series include high school, community college, and lower-level university students who are interested in, or participating in, cybersecurity, information technology, or associated programs.
This video includes more technical terms and information than the first video, and it is appropriate for students in a cybersecurity or information technology course.
This video is brought to you by the National Cybersecurity Training and Education Center (NCyTE) through funding from a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education Grant (#1902329).
