Enabling Cybersecurity Incident Reporting and Coordinated Handling for Maritime Sector

The maritime industry is experiencing a new era of digital transformation. At the same time as the number of cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents are increasing, cybersecurity awareness and incident reporting in this sector remains low. In this paper, we describe a cybersecurity incident reporting system for the maritime industry that aims to address this issue. The work focuses on autonomous and unmanned vessels, but can be equally applied to other areas of the maritime industry. The proposed approach has been evaluated experimentally and the results demonstrate its applicability and feasibility.
