Analysis of the security challenge in maritime cloud computing

The development and application of information technologies in the maritime affairs significantly increased the levels of safety and efficiency in carrying out intended tasks. The introduction of cloud computing within the maritime industry improved not only the organization, but also the communication between all its entities. This significantly reduces the financial cost of investments in the new infrastructure which often requires a lot of financial investments and it also allows the sharing of information resources and their availability. This technology opens up the possibility of using a number of innovative solutions which can be easily implemented, especially because of the minimum financial investments in the necessary infrastructure. Despite the benefits which cloud computing provides, the concern about the security of its application continues to grow. Security itself poses a major problem and its menace calls into question the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data. This paper analyses the security threats related to cloud computing through a review of the used basic models. Furthermore, it provides a classification of the most significant threats to the maritime industry which offers an extremely wide range of professions and jobs. Finally, it presents the proposals of possible solutions in order to prevent possible malicious attacks and suggests the guidelines for future researches on the analyzed topic.
