Towards an Open-source Intrusion Detection System Integration Into Marine Vehicles

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) issued regulations to enhance cyber security in the maritime domain. Shipping companies look for compliance with the regulations. Together with industry and academia, they make serious efforts to manage this challenge, but they face difficulties, especially in the case of legacy products. Our research has thoroughly examined the obstacles and has proposed a possible solution. We found that extending ships' legacy control and navigational systems with an open-source intrusion detection system can significantly contribute to meeting the sector's requirements.
