Metasystem for Maritime Cybersecurity Management During Digital Transformation at Sea
1 Polish Naval Academy, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: Nowadays, maritime transportation is "navigating" the rough waters generated by cyber threats, trying to find a suitable and safe route to allow cargo to be transported by sea. At the current time, when there is a disharmony between the safety environment and technological developments, the willingness of all maritime stakeholders to work together is needed to meet the challenge of ensuring proper cybersecurity management in maritime transportation. The aim of the paper is to describe the metasystem for maritime cybersecurity management during carriage goods by sea. This system takes into account both users and designers of the system. This ensures a holistic approach to maritime security during digital transformation. Finally, the author presents the structure of the meta-cybersecurity system involving the Polish Armed Forces, sea rescue services and individual stakeholders participating in port and sea trade. The practical using of the system is rooted out in the conventional vessel but the author takes into account application the system for maritime autonomous surface ships.
