Previous Teams
Summer 2023 – Maritime Cyber Risk
Team:
Sean Connolly, Liam Fox, Dylan Farrell, Shivam Patel, Tom Simon, Andrew Fernandez
Mentors:
Karen Bemis
Abstract:
The Maritime Risk Summer 2023 project examined the Maritime Industries’ offshore energy infrastructure and how it leads to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. By assessing the environmental and technological risks of the offshore energy port infrastructure, the Maritime Risk Bootcamp assessed, evaluated, and provided recommendations for cyber threats that have a high likelihood of severely impacting the Maritime Industries’ operations. The project also reviewed the consequences for the company itself if the above concerns are not addressed in a systematic manner
Summer 2022 – Maritime Cyber Risk
Team:
Denis Egan, Latha Vijayagopal, Ryan Whytlaw
Mentors:
Christie Nelson, Brian Petrus
Abstract:
The team interviewed subject matter experts, research cyber attacks and disruptions to the maritime industry that would have an impact on global or national supply chains, and compiled a report with findings and recommendations. The team was highly successful in completing all of their initiatives and project goals throughout the duration of the bootcamp focusing on recommending ideas ideas to secure and protect maritime supply chains from cyber threats.
Summer 2021 – Maritime Cyber Risk
Team:
Adityya Kesari, Vivek Rajan, Joseph Maimone, Srotriyo Sengupta
Mentors:
Christie Nelson, Brian Petrus
Abstract:
The Coast Guard Security left with increasing situational awareness for cybersecurity threats. The team worked on the Automated Vessels with the new challenges discovered: design, operations, safety, security, and training. The Cybersecurity Updates left the NIST with the latest frameworks for Maritime Industry in alignment with US Coast Guard seems to be in 2016. The target shift the team provided was a partnership with major corporations: Critical government technology & supply chain attacks are the most active threats. The team was very successful in completing all of their initiatives and project goals during the duration of the bootcamp focusing on recommending ideas to reduce system failures.
