Abstract

Cybersecurity of ships constitutes a hot topic with increased vulnerabilities in the context of digitalisation. Interestingly, little is known about ships’ cyberattacks, both in terms of types, frequencies, and potential responses and/or mitigation plans. By mobilizing the Admiral dataset, we set up a few statistics to present the problem of cybersecurity in the maritime sector, focusing on ships’ cyberattacks. Owing to a bibliometric co-citation analysis, we described the main themes developed by the top four cited papers of each cluster and provided a literature review with the most recent papers highlighting the most recent themes and concepts of interest to increase ships’ cyber resilience.
