Abstract

Seyir, iletişim, sensörler, güç ve makine kontrol sistemlerinden oluşan gemi sistemlerinin verimli bir şekilde çalışması, denizcilik sektörünün artan dijitalleşmesine ve bilgi ve operasyonel teknolojilerin yoğun kullanımına bağlıdır. Küresel düzenlemeler ve standartların amacı, gemideki sistemlere, ağ ve veri bütünlüğüne, operasyona, işlevselliğe ve güvenliğe zarar verebilecek potansiyel tehlikelerin etkisini azaltmaktır. Bu noktada, Uluslararası Klas Kuruluşları Birliği (IACS) tarafından gemilerin siber dayanıklılığını iyileştirme ihtiyacını ele almak için yakın zamanda "Gemilerin Siber Dayanıklılığı" (UR E26) yayınlandı. Bu düzenleme, 1 Temmuz 2024'ten itibaren inşa edilen yeni gemiler için geçerli olacaktır. Bu çalışma, IACS UR E26 standardına dayalı olarak gemi siber güvenliği için bir kontrol listesi oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Gemi operasyonel teknolojilerinin analiz edilmesi, potansiyel siber risk ve güvenlik açıklarının belirlenmesi ve bu doğrultuda IACS UR E26 standardına uygun bir siber güvenlik kontrol listesi oluşturulması yoluyla bir gemi siber güvenlik kontrol listesi geliştirilmiştir.Temiz denizlere ve güvenli gemilere odaklanan IACS, teknik yardım sağlar, uyumluluğu doğrular ve deniz güvenliğini, emniyetini ve düzenlemesini geliştirmek için araştırma ve geliştirme yürütür. Bu çalışma, IACS standartının faydalarının yanı sıra emniyet yönetim sistemi kapsamında gemi siber güvenlik yönetimi için gemilere pratik bir araç sağlar. IACS UR E26 standardına uygun bir kontrol listesi oluşturmak, gemi sahiplerinin ve operatörlerinin standartlara uymasını ve denetim süreçlerini kolaylaştırmasını da sağlar. Bu, uluslararası düzenlemelere uymak için harcanan çabayı azaltır. Gemi siber güvenlik yönetimine sistematik bir yaklaşım sağlayarak siber riskleri proaktif bir şekilde yönetmeye yardımcı olur.

Maritime Cyber Security: Adopting a Checklist Based on IACS UR E26 Standard

Abstract

The efficient operation of ship systems that control navigation, communications, sensors, and power and machinery is dependent on the increasing digitization of the maritime sector and the intense use of information and operational technologies. The goal of issuing and enforcing global regulations and standards is to lessen the impact of potential dangers that could jeopardize on-board systems, network and data integrity, and operation, functionality and safety. At this point, "Cyber Resilience of Ships" (UR E26) is recently released by the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) to address the need to improve ships' cyber resilience. This regulation will be applicable to new ships built on and after 1 July 2024. This study aims to create a check list for ship cyber security based on IACS UR E26 standard. A ship cyber security checklist was developed by first analyzing ship operational technologies, identifying potential cyber risks and vulnerabilities, and then creating a checklist in accordance with the IACS UR E26 standard to ensure cyber security on board. With a focus on clean seas and safe ships, the IACS provides technical assistance, verifies compliance, and conducts research and development to enhance maritime safety, security and regulation. This study provides practical tool to ships for ship cyber security management under the safety management system besides IACS standard benefits. Creating a checklist in accordance with the IACS UR E26 standard also allows ship owners and operators to comply with the standards and facilitate inspection processes. This reduces the effort spent to comply with international regulations. It helps to proactively manage cyber risks by providing a systematic approach to ship cyber security management.
