4. 5.
Recognize the potential physical impact of cyberattacks: For example, drone hijacking: an attacker could take full control of the drone, redirecting it to unauthorized targets or using it for sabotage.
Conduct a holistic cybersecurity assessment when integrating multiple technologies: Some emerging technologies, such as Automation, rely on a combination of other technologies. Cybersecurity assessments should consider the overall system, not just individual components.
6.
Implement technology-specific protection, detection, and mitigation measures, in addition to general cybersecurity measures outlined in the IAPH Cybersecurity Guidelines for Ports and Port Facilities: Emerging technologies have specific characteristics, and it is important to implement protection, detection, and mitigation measures that are tailored to the technology and not only the general ones. For
example, dedicated authentication methods used in 5G networks.
7.
Look for new cybersecurity solutions that are enabled by emerging technologies: Some emerging technologies may introduce new cybersecurity solutions that should be leveraged to enhance organizational cybersecurity. For example, AI excels at monitoring information systems. Using behavioural analysis, it identifies anomalies in network traffic and user behaviour. Even IoT introduces new cybersecurity solutions, such as decentralized IoT-based honeypot solutions: IoT devices, which can serve as honeypots to lure attackers, allowing organizations to gather intelligence on their attack methods.
8.
Training and education are an important tool to ensure cybersecurity by design implementation of emerging technologies in the maritime supply
chain: When teaching emerging technologies in maritime-related courses, cybersecurity-related content should be included. This is relevant to internal training in maritime supply chain organizations and in maritime supply chain-related education institutions, including universities.
9.
Engage in the efforts to update the national and international legislation to adapt the existing requirements, for a cyber-secure implementation of emerging technologies in the maritime supply chain.
"These guidelines have involved a significant amount of work from Gadi, our DCC chair Ingrid Boqué and the team of authors from our membership and partner experts. It addresses the number one health, safety and security concern identified by our surveyed respondents to the recent IAPH World Ports Tracker market and sustainability trends report", said IAPH managing director Patrick Verhoeven.
- About IAPH -
IAPH is a non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. In November 1955, some 100 world port leaders gathered in Los Angeles to announce the creation of IAPH. Over the past six decades, IAPH has developed into a global alliance of ports, representing today some 190 ports and 167 port-related businesses in 89 countries as of 6 December 2024. The member ports together handle well over 60% of the world’s sea-borne trade and over 60% of the world container traffic. To make IAPH more relevant for its members and more widely promoted in the world port and maritime community, IAPH adopted a new Constitution in 2016. It was the first time in its history spanning over 60 years that the constitution was rewritten entirely to meet the demands of the day. It was no doubt an epoch-making event in its history.
