The Megayacht's Digital Achilles' Heel: Analyzing the Attack Surface and Cybersecurity as a Shipyard's Strategic Imperative
Lukas Johannes Möller
Abstract
Examines how networked systems on large vessels expand attack surface for yards and operators, and argues for treating maritime cyber risk as a design and procurement constraint rather than an afterthought. Connects bridge, engineering, and guest-facing IT to realistic adversary scenarios. Keeps technical claims scoped to documented interfaces and supply-chain dependencies where possible.
