Maritime Cyber Vulnerabilities in the Energy Sector Center for Joint Operations of the Sea ODU Maritime Institute Students Crow, Fresco, Lee
2
Situation In 2013, 40% of cyber attacks were directed at energy infrastructure. Challenges to energy industry cyber security can be broken down into 2 major categories. Protecting the equipment that generates energy Preventing the attackers to access to system database
3
IT Systems Shipboard computers are Linux based, and computers collect all the data into a storage center. –Inside database network server –Outside database network server via internet
4
Data System Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems which controls assets of industrial system. – When it was first introduced the problems to future security was not understood.
5

6
Liquefied Natural Gas 2 nd highest energy source Clear odorless natural gas Volume changes to 1/600 when liquefied Higher-pressure tanks require periodic inspection
7
LNG Process Exploration and transportation of the natural gas is complex
8
LNG Vulnerability Collision Release of gas to atmosphere (Computer Error) Explosion Fire
9
Regulatory Guidance Office of Energy Infrastructure Security - increase the response time and efficiency to the potential threats Draft a executive order to create a cybersecurity council (DHS) Information Security Risk Management program is created by voluntary movement The Critical Information Infrastructure Protection was introduced to protect energy sectors from cyber attacks.
