The autonomous ship market is also expected to reach $217.6 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2024 to 2033.
From connected systems to integrated ships The growing adoption of maritime IoT, AI-based data analytics, cloud computing and smart-ship technologies is generating increasing amounts of operational data.
However, the white paper argues that many ship-specific digital solutions remain fragmented, limiting their ability to work together effectively.
An integrated digital platform, by contrast, could bring ship operations, maintenance and logistics data together, enabling real-time analysis and supporting faster decision-making.
Cybersecurity becomes part of the equation The integration challenge also has a direct cybersecurity dimension.

Its core thesis has evolved from IoT security to what the industry now calls Physical AI - autonomous systems driven by artificial intelligence that interact with the real world.
Photon, built on that infrastructure, is the company's preventive platform for Physical AI.
These make it easier and cheaper for attackers to target physical devices in novel ways.
To counter this, Exein is training a foundational model for Physical AI security using machine data and telemetrics.
The company's bet is that security must live inside the device itself, functioning like a digital immune system for connected hardware.

The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is forcing IoT manufacturers to rethink cybersecurity as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-off compliance exercise, according to industry experts speaking at an IoT Insider webinar that is now available to watch on demand.
The majority of the Act’s wider requirements for products with digital elements will apply from 11 December 2027, giving manufacturers a further period to prepare for the more extensive product cybersecurity requirements.
The webinar, titled ‘The Cyber Resilience Act is here: What happens next for IoT security?
The change is particularly significant for IoT products, which can remain deployed for many years after they are first manufactured.

“Once it is disrupted, the whole ecosystem is affected,” he says, pointing to the importance of comprehensive incident response plans and cyber resilience programmes.
That is something the whole panel agreed on, including Khaled Al Teneiji, Cyber Security Head at ENOC, Talal Alasmi, CISO at Al Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Co. SAOG in Oman, and Anoop Paudval, Head of Information Security and GRC at Gulf News.
On the motives of these attacks Salman stated that this could be of financial and state interest to target the energy sector.
“Accuracy of an asset inventory decays unless continuously maintained,” Al Teneiji expressed pointing to the company’s need to move from box-ticking compliance to active, live monitoring.
Al Teneiji expressed that security teams need to sit down with process engineers before disaster strikes.

High consequence attacks that move fast compound the cyber risks for Australian organisations.
Those are illustrated in the most recent cyber threat report from the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC).
But let's get real: the CISOs role hasn't changed, the urgency for cyber resilience has.
In one example described by Australian Signals Directorate Head of Cyber Security Resilience Chris Horlyck, the Essential 8 is evolving into the Australian Cyber Essentials (the "Essentials") as part of a modern defensible architecture.
In an already elevated threat landscape, containment with visibility and zero trust are imperative to maintaining business resilience.

A few years ago, during a routine prelaunch review of new connected IoT hardware, our team scanned a batch of brand new, latest model hardware and found a potential bug, which was not uncommon, but also noticed something else.
Based on previous experience, we suspected potential breakdowns in the vendor’s supply chain, product manufacturing and assembly, or testing and quality assurance processes.
Why the security spec may not survive the build A design specification describes intent, and security is usually something most makers of any IT equipment, including IoT and OT device manufacturers, intend.
Nobody likes these, but they are out there out of necessity and remain one of the most common weaknesses in IoT, OT and other network connected devices.
Security flaws and vulnerabilities in software also are a challenge with IoT and OT devices.
