Videoworks - Keeping cybercrime under control
- Protecting superyachts and their owners, captains and crews against cybercrime is a growing necessity. #videoworks is working with trusted partners and developing security solutions to stay ahead of the curve
- #videoworks integrated systems already aboard multiple #superyacht projects by Benetti, Baglietto, Perini Navi, Ferretti, Admiral and CCN, among others
- Suggested social media hashtags: #videoworks #cybercrime #cybersecurity
Thanks to the increasing amount of digital technology on board superyachts, it is now easier than ever for owners, guests and crews to stay connected anywhere and anytime. But the same technology exposes yacht systems and their passengers to the growing threat of cyber-related crime. These risks have to be well understood, managed and monitored.
The task is pressing. In May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will introduce obligations that impact companies offering services and products within the EU. With over 25 years of experience as IT integrators in the yachting sector, #videoworks is ideally placed to analyse, define and specify bespoke cyber security solutions into new build and refit projects.
The cost of connection
Most onboard systems are interconnected and managed by VLAN, often via the same Internet entry/exit point (VSAT, 3G, 4G, etc). This means all traffic goes through the same portal, so a hacker gaining access via a malicious email is a risk for the entire network, from AV systems through to alarms, air conditioning, engine management, security doors, navigation and monitoring systems.
This is not just scare mongering. In a controlled experiment in 2013, students from the University of Texas were able to “spoof” the GPS signals of a #superyacht and send the vessel veering off course without rousing any suspicions whatsoever. In a different trial in 2017, a cybercrime specialist working for a mobile device company hacked into another yacht's WiFi connection and gained control of vital functions, including the navigation system and onboard CCTV.
Yacht owner to protect their on-board business
But the safety of the vessel is not the only issue. Many yacht owners conduct private and professional business while on board. This makes their personal data such as e-mail addresses, photos, videos or even bank account details, vulnerable to malware and phishing, a threat highlighted last year by the worldwide ransomware attack on Windows-based computer systems.
