Are the mariners equipped to handle modern cybersecurity threats like GPS spoofing?
Thirteen participants said that standard cybersecurity training was largely irrelevant to their shipboard duties, and 14 reported receiving no mission-specific cybersecurity training.
Eighteen participants said their training did not distinguish between traditional information technology and operational technology, such as navigation and propulsion systems.
Seventeen participants described their cybersecurity training as absent, low quality, or a low priority.
The team examined three hypothetical scenarios: GPS spoofing, loss of propulsion control in a high-traffic area, and failure of electronic navigation systems in a congested channel at night.

Every 90 seconds, an artificial intelligence-assisted program scanned roughly 50 news sources for mentions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his wife, Likud, and political rivals.
Instead, its exposed code has raised uncomfortable questions about the security of Israel’s political inner circle.
Gabriel Colodro reports for The Media Line that longtime Netanyahu adviser Jonatan Urich left the program’s code publicly accessible on GitHub.
Among the exposed details were telephone numbers, WhatsApp group identifiers, and access tokens.

Cybersecurity conversations often stay with IT until a disruption affects operations, financial reporting, customer relationships, or day-to-day decision-making.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a useful opportunity to step back, identify areas of exposure, and make practical decisions before year-end planning begins.
This is one of the clearest areas to review because the findings can often lead to immediate improvements.
A practical cybersecurity review should connect backup discussions to business continuity, not just technology.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month provides a timely opportunity to bring the right people together and view risk through a broader business lens.

Cybersecurity is a shifting landscape, and new technologies, for all their promise, can also threaten new nightmare scenarios.
That is why experts across Arizona State University are going beyond addressing today’s challenges to create proactive approaches that prevent these cybersecurity nightmares from becoming reality.
These cybersecurity researchers are creating solutions that can be employed before emerging challenges have the chance to gain a foothold in our lives or impact our national security.
Bao’s research advances efforts to create AI tools for cyber defense, including smart systems that self-audit, patch and test.
Michel Kinsy, an associate professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence, calls this idea “system-of-systems cybersecurity.”

Meeting the requirements can determine whether they qualify for military contracts, including work they receive through larger defense companies.
To earn certification, NE-XT had to demonstrate that it met 110 cybersecurity requirements, known as controls.
Mumford said she has spent the last seven years helping small and medium-sized Connecticut companies meet the Pentagon’s cybersecurity requirements.
After CONNSTEP helped identify the company’s security gaps and develop an action plan, NEAP hired Saji Nair, a former business information security officer with GE Vernova, to carry out the work.
He pointed to Microsoft’s GCC High, a version of its Microsoft 365 platform designed to support government security requirements.
