Накратко на български

Киберзасилите и физическите уязвимости в морския транспорт се анализират чрез примери от най-натоварените пътища като Малакския пролив. Това е важно, защото над 90% от световната търговия преминава по море и всяко смущение може да разстройни глобалните вериги за доставки.

Hybrid threats to Indonesia’s Maritime Security: an assessment of cyber and cyber-physical vulnerabilities in the world’s busiest shipping lanes

The project addressed the emerging threats to maritime security arising from increasing cyber and technological vulnerabilities in the global maritime transportation system. With pervasive use of interconnected information technology, operational technology, satellite communications and internet of things devices, the maritime sector faces potential catastrophic disruption from cyber-attacks and hybrid threats involving both cyber and physical elements. This issue is of critical importance to society as over 90% of global trade is carried by maritime shipping. Disruptions to major shipping lanes like the Straits of Malacca and Singapore could have severe economic consequences worldwide by disrupting global supply chains. The overall objectives were: To explore policy, law and governance at the nexus of maritime and cyber security using important shipping lanes like the Malacca Strait as case studies. To analyze capabilities and tactics of regional threat actors like terrorists, pirates and cybercriminals in conducting hybrid maritime attacks. To investigate unique cybersecurity challenges for the maritime domain arising from remote, mobile IT systems on ships. To assess maritime sector vulnerabilities to cyber attack and identify regulatory/policy gaps to be addressed. To examine port security regulations regarding cyber-physical threats and potential vulnerabilities. To understand the changing nature of maritime and cyber threats in the context of evolving global conflict involving states, non-state and state-sponsored actors. The key conclusions were that while international governance efforts are underway, significant vulnerabilities remain due to uneven enforcement and gaps between regulation and reality. The project provided recommendations for industry practices, international governance, regional cooperation and capacity building to enhance maritime cybersecurity and overall resilience of the global maritime transportation system.

Цел на проекта

STRAITSECURITY investigates policy and legal challenges in the maritime sector posed by the rapid spread of technology and growing threats to cybersecurity. The project will focus on some of the world’s busiest commercial shipping lanes as case studies (the Straits of Singapore and Malacca, the Sunda Strait and the Lombok Strait – all of which are partially or wholly within the jurisdiction of the Republic of Indonesia). These shipping lanes are of vital importance to European trade to Asia and a blockage would affect all corners of the globe. The rise of autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence, robotics and the internet of things raises a number of vulnerabilities and challenges to maritime security. The anonymous, borderless nature of cyberspace presents unique opportunities for hackers, terrorists and cybercriminals, as well as unprecedented challenges for policy makers and law enforcers. The burgeoning and ubiquitous reliance on technology, coupled with continued piratical and terrorist activity in the region, poses a severe security risk to shipping. In recent years, the concept of cyber-terrorism has gained widespread awareness. This multidisciplinary, original and innovative research aims to significantly advance our theoretical and empirical understanding of the intersections between physical and cyber threats to the maritime domain, by considering the real possibility of hybrid threats to maritime security, such as ‘cyber-piracy’ and ‘cyber-terrorism’. It also aims to address a number of conceptual problems that these raise and the respective implications in maritime security policy for the international community in general and the EU in particular. The research will deploy mixed qualitative and quantitative research methods and collect primary data by consulting with experts in law, policy, technology, maritime security and cyber security in the UK and SE Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore) to inform its conclusions and recommendations.
