Explore the cybersecurity landscape of the maritime industry through a comprehensive conference talk that reveals critical vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure across the world's top 50 maritime organizations. Learn how researchers conducted large-scale passive reconnaissance using only open source intelligence (OSINT) and LLM-assisted analysis to uncover troubling security gaps in DNS configurations, email authentication protocols, and other foundational internet services. Discover ethical reconnaissance methodologies that rely exclusively on publicly available data without sending any packets to target systems. Gain insights into how core security controls are implemented (or neglected) across a critical global industry that is rapidly digitizing. Access reproducible research methods as the presenters share all scripts and tools used in their analysis, enabling you to replicate their work, audit other industries, or expand upon their methodology. Understand the broader implications of digital security weaknesses in critical infrastructure sectors and master OSINT techniques that can surface meaningful insights about any industry using only curiosity and publicly available information.
