Data Security in Digital Ports: Challenges and Possible Solutions

Abstract

The article presents the results of analyzing the dynamics of growth of cyberattacks on the maritime logistics industry, which allowed to identify the key aspects of digital vulnerability of this industry. The relevance is due to the annual increase in the number of cyberattacks on the activities of digital seaports and the growing volume of economic losses from the occurrence of such events. The classification of threats to the digital environment was performed, the causes and potential economic consequences of these threats for the main participants of the logistics chain, including port operators and carriers, were clarified. The main digital tools aimed at reducing cyber vulnerability of digital ports and reducing economic losses are systematized and analyzed. It is conclud-ed that it is necessary and economically feasible to further develop and implement digital tools in the field of maritime logistics to improve its security and efficiency.
