Towards a Cyber Secure Shipboard Radar

This paper presents a comparative cyber security resilience estimation of shipboard radars that are implemented on two oil/chemical tankers certified as SOLAS ships. The estimated radars were chosen from the same manufacturer, but belonged to different generations. The estimation is conducted by means of a ships' crew interview and computational testing of the radars using a widely deployed vulnerability scanning software tool. The identified cyber threats were analysed qualitatively in order to gain a holistic understanding of cyber risks threatening the shipboard radar systems. The results obtained experimentally indicate that the source of the cyber threats is mainly in the radar software underlying operating system maintenance, suggesting the need for the regulatory standardization of the periodic cyber security testing of radar systems.
