SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
IMPACT OF DHS SHUTDOWN
The US Department of Homeland Security faces a possible shutdown if there is no budget for it by Friday evening, Feb. 27. This will affect the ability of several of our speakers and of our attendees to participate in the symposium. However, the symposium will go on as planned. We have made contingency plans for replacing the speakers in question.
**EVENT LOCATION: Cook Student Center, 59 Biel Road, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-8508 **
In what is believed to be the first such public event to be held on this topic, CCICADA and AMU will host a learning seminar (March 2, 2015) and symposium (March 3, 2015) on the emerging issue of maritime cyber security. This two-day event will be held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. We invite members of the Homeland Security Enterprise, the news media, and the public at large to attend.
The Maritime Cybersecurity ThreatA recent demonstration showed how a potential adversary could remotely take control of a vessel by spoofing its GPS. Hackers recently shut down a floating oil rig by tilting it; another rig was so riddled with computer malware that it took 19 days to make it seaworthy again. Somali pirates may be selecting their targets by viewing navigational data online or intercepting live AIS broadcasts, prompting ships to either turn off their navigational devices, or fake the data so it looks like they’re somewhere else. Flaws have been found in electronic positioning software that would allow an attacker to access and modify files and charts on board a ship or on shore. This could compromise ship navigation and lead to serious environmental and financial damage, even loss of life. Easily available jammers could close down a port at a cost of more than $1 billion per day.
The dependence of modern ships on sophisticated technology makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks through radio frequency (RF) interference whether intentional, unintentional or by natural causes. Cyber threats to the complex maritime domain, including ports and offshore energy operations, are similarly serious. Unfortunately, these threats are not well known to the stakeholders who must maintain critical operations.
A recent GAO report found that DHS needs to better address maritime cyber security (in particular port cyber security). The GAO recommended that USCG assess cyber-related risks and use the assessment to inform maritime security guidance and that FEMA use the cyber risk assessment to inform its grant guidance. In addition, there seems to be little in the way of effort to educate the private maritime sector about the threat. These risks and vulnerabilities prompted CCICADA and AMU to organize Maritime Cyber Security seminar and symposium.
Learning Seminar, March 2
The two-day event will begin on Monday, March 2, with an Executive Overview/Learning Seminar, which will be held from 1:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. This will be followed by a reception and dinner from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. See program details below.
Featured speakers will include Rear Admiral Marshall Lytle, USCG; Dr. Mark Hagerott, Deputy Director and Professor of Cyber Security, US Naval Academy; Naval Capt. Peter Crain, Canadian Forces; Capt. David Moskoff, US Merchant Marine Academy.
Symposium, March 3
The symposium will begin at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 3, and continue until 5:20 p.m. Lunch will be provided. During the symposium, featured speakers and five groups of panelists will present and discuss maritime cybersecurity risks, threats, counter measures and education/training in-depth. See program details below.
Vice Admiral Chuck Michel, USCG, will give the keynote lecture. Other featured speakers will include Dr. Christopher Rodriguez, Director, NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness; Dr. Steve Flynn, Northeastern University; and Dr. Douglas Maughan, Cyber Security Division, DHS Science and Technology Directorate.
Registration & Virtual Participation
Registration Is Closed
Please register early since we anticipate filling the available space. The symposium will be held at the Cook Campus Center, 59 Biel Road, New Brunswick, NJ.
See: Accommodations & Directions page for general travel information.
Virtual Participation
Registration Is Closed for the complete 2-day learning seminar and symposium at no cost.
Contribute a Paper
We invite interested individuals to propose papers for inclusion in a post-symposium book. The book will be edited by Dr. Joe DiRenzo (USCG and AMU), Prof. Nicole Drumhiller (AMU), and Prof. Fred Roberts (CCICADA), with a foreword by Vice Admiral Rob Parker (USCG, Retired). The publisher will be APUS ePress in collaboration with PSO/Westphalia Press.
If you would like to submit a paper, please send an email to James Wojtowicz, CCICADA Managing Director, with a tentative title and short description of the contents. We will review your proposal and then let you know if you are invited to submit a paper. We will provide you with a template for the manuscript.
The Manuscript submission date has been extended to April 30, 2015.
