Cybersecurity is becoming an increasingly important aspect in ensuring maritime data protection and operational continuity. Ships, ports, surveillance and navigation systems, industrial technology, cargo, and logistics systems all contribute to a complex maritime environment with a significant cyberattack surface. To that aim, a wide range of cyberattacks in the maritime domain are possible, with the potential to infect vulnerable information and communication systems, compromising safety and security. The use of navigation and surveillance systems, which are considered as part of the maritime OT sensors, can improve maritime cyber situational awareness. This survey critically investigates whether the fusion of OT data, which are used to provide maritime situational awareness, may also improve the ability to detect cyberincidents in real time or near-real time. It includes a thorough analysis of the relevant literature, emphasizing RF but also other sensors, and data fusion approaches that can help improve maritime cybersecurity.

The SecAwarenessTruss project tackles the essential requirement of cybersecurity training within the healthcare and energy sectors and telecommunications and maritime industries. Organizations that depend on digital technologies face rising cyber threats, which demand customized training programs that address sector-specific vulnerabilities. The initiative combines regulatory requirements with GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The cyber range platform delivers scenario-based training, which enables participants to develop incident detection and response and recovery skills through simulated cyberattacks. The training modules focus on social engineering and human factors and advanced persistent threats to develop organizational cybersecurity resilience. The implementation of generative AI and machine learning in training approaches enables personalized learning experiences which prepare cybersecurity professionals to handle current and future threats. The SecAwarenessTruss project aims to enhance critical infrastructure cybersecurity defenses through collaborative efforts that drive ongoing improvement of defense strategies.
