Abstract

Last few years took place true jump in approaches to developing, control
and exploitation of different complex technical systems. In industry,
transport, energetic and so on data exchange technologies, based on Industry
4.0, IoT, IIoT, Shipping 4.0, etc. concepts are implementing very actively. In
maritime branch information technologies became inextricably linked to the
classical approaches and allow to perform intelligent remote control and create
fully unmanned objects and complex technical systems.         So, some companies have founded Unmanned Cargo Ship
Development Alliance; newly developed Distributed Intelligent Vessel Components
software, which provides new protocol for devices connecting and data
transferring; recently created Advanced Autonomous Waterborne Applications
Initiative autonomous ship research project and Maritime Autonomous Surface
Ships direction.

It's possible to highlight following ship automation levels.

1.   Ship can be controlled
remotely.

2.   Ship may work in unmanned mode
partly or periodically.

3.   Ship may perform self-driving
with operator help, if necessary.

4.   Additionally to the level 3,
self-driving possible without operator's intrusion.

5.   Fully unmanned ship with the
same functionality and possibilities as classic ship.

But complexity
and vulnerability for external intrusion of such ships is also growing
enormously. So, in 2017 and 2018 years at least two large shipping companies
were attacked by hackers and had to stop significant part of business activity
and lost huge amounts. That's why the task of cybersecurity providing,
including highly productive firewalls implementing, is very actual.

Ways
of modern concepts and technologies implementing in maritime branch are briefly
analyzed. Possible levels of ships' autonomy and automation with most modern
technical decisions are shown. Existing problems and vulnerabilities of highly
automated ships are described. Approach on vulnerabilities influence minimizing
with firewalls using is proposed.
