Begin with a cybersecurity gap assessment

When aiming to build strong cybersecurity within a smart ship it pays to know where you stand. A cybersecurity gap assessment (also known as maturity assessment against an established standard) is the right point to start with. Various environments such as the OT ecosystems, IT systems, corporate networks, IP security, control systems, connected systems, and third-party risks related to the industry supply chain such as customers and suppliers must be brought under the purview of the assessment. Such an assessment will reveal the gaps in the current policies and practices, which can be addressed in the formulation of a formal cybersecurity governance program, which naturally is the next step.

Formulate a cybersecurity governance program

Formulate a formal plan to establish cybersecurity by addressing the gaps identified during the maturity assessment. In a smart ship setup, it is crucially important to include OT systems as well in the overall program. Historically, OT systems were always standalone systems. But as more and more OT systems got integrated with IT systems in the smart ship setups, proper attention was not paid to the security aspect of OT systems compared with the IT systems. As a result, many organizations have weak OT cybersecurity. Common controls which are implemented in the IT networks (such as configuration management, access control policy, authentication policy, and contingency plans in case of a security breach) are not implemented in the OT network. This leaves the entire cybersecurity plan inadequate as unprotected OT systems can also render the IT networks vulnerable to cyber security threats. So, it is of utmost importance to include both the IT and OT systems in the cybersecurity program of a smart ship.

Steering Gear System Service

Implement appropriate security controls at the front end of your smart ship use cases. Make sure you include the vast range of controls and use cases in the program. Some of the critical controls to include are network segmentation models, enhancing the visibility of network assets and their activity in order to minimize the potential of disruption of production, secure remote access, access control and authentication management of removable media, better management of privileged access, and the implementation of efficient backup processes (which is extremely important in case of production- and safety-critical systems and configurations).

Make your employees active champions of cybersecurity

Cybersecurity program implementation doesn’t stop at drawing a plan and announcing

Cyber threats are real, and breaches are happening around us. A cybersecurity breach can wreak havoc when it gains control over vital proprietary information and key operational processes, which can cause humongous losses in terms of customer trust, revenue, and can sometimes even compromise employee safety. Acknowledging and understanding the need for cybersecurity is the need of the hour. Establishing a well-thought-out strategy to implement, monitor, and improvise cyber security measures can reward smart factories with much-needed cyber resilience in the ever-expanding, digitally connected manufacturing ecosystem.

We hope that this article helped you to design and implement an efficient cybersecurity strategy for your smart ship.
