ISS Director Dr. Swantje Westpfahl and Tim Dalhöfer participated on a Speaker's Panel at the 5th Annual Cyber Security Conference in the Maritime Domain, hosted by the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operational Training Center (NMIOTC) in Souda Bay, Crete, Greece. For this conference, NMIOTC hosted 98 attendees with 26 speakers to discuss recent cyber security issues in the domain of maritime security.
Dr. Westpfahl and Mr Dalhöfer presented attendees with an outlook on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in the maritime domain in 2030, in which they not only provided military representatives with an overview on their operational environment in the near future, but also raised awareness the cyber security risks that AI technology entails: The maritime domain has been marked in recent time by a massive increase in environmental information gathered and delivered to vessel commanders. Operating in an environment as vast and as difficult to observe as the world's oceans, NATO's navies are dependent on comprehensive, reliable and actionable information to make make critical decisions in an accelerating operating space. AI technology promises to process all this accumulated data efficiently and faster than any human could, to give the vessel commander an edge over the adversary when it comes to decision making. However, AI and Machine Learning (ML) are known to have particular vulnerabilities in addition to the cyber risks that navies are already facing. Raising an awareness and providing military decision makers with cyber security recommendations so that the can act securely, efficient and ethically responsible is therefore of special importance.
