Securing AIS - Deep Dive - Threat Talks Cybersecurity Podcast
Manage episode 499549381 series 3682930
AIS (Advanced Identification System) is a key tool in maritime navigation.
It helps ships transmit their location and data to other vessels and satellites, preventing collisions and supporting rescue operations. 🛟 It’s a crucial technology for navigating 🗺️ the unpredictable oceans 🌊 —but it’s not without its vulnerabilities. 🏴☠️ Pirates can use AIS to track high-value ships, and hackers can manipulate the system. Picture this: your ship is safely docked, but hackers make it appear as if it’s entering dangerous, hostile waters. This tactic, known as spoofing, doesn’t just mess with a ship’s navigation—it can send out false reports to military or civilian observers, creating chaos and confusion. Just imagine the stakes in a situation with rising military tension – if it suddenly seems like your warships are showing up in enemy harbors, the risk of conflict skyrockets, to say the least. 🔥 In this Deep Dive, host Lieuwe Jan Koning, along with guests Rob Maas and Jeroen Scheerder, explore the potential dangers of AIS hacking and what steps can be taken to make this vital system more secure and trustworthy for the future. === 📈 Find our infographics and 👕 receive your own Threat Talks T-shirt: https://threat-talks.com
