Explore the critical security challenges and innovative solutions in maritime communications through this 25-minute conference talk from DEF CON 33. Examine how the maritime industry's reliance on efficient, secure information transfer faces new vulnerabilities as technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and the Internet of Ships (IoS) enhance operational efficiency while introducing security and network management risks. Discover how compromised IT systems can provide easy access to operational technology (OT) networks, significantly increasing exposure to zero-day attacks. Learn about the current state of maritime communications infrastructure and investigate the feasibility of implementing an SDN-SDR driven cross-layer framework that leverages SATCOM infrastructure to create resilient and reconfigurable maritime communications systems capable of operating effectively in dynamic, resource-constrained maritime environments.
