The Growing Problem: The Wireless Blind Spot in Maritime Cybersecurity
The U.S. maritime sector is facing a critical cybersecurity gap—the wireless blind spot. While traditional cybersecurity solutions monitor internal IT networks, wireless-connected devices and signals remain largely invisible, leaving ports, ships, and terminals vulnerable to attack.

80% of port-side devices now connect wirelessly
Traditional IT tools provide no visibility into wireless activity.
GPS Spoofing, rogue LTE modems, Bluetooth skimmers, and RF jammers are being used for cyber-physical disruption.
These threats can interfere with OT systems, leading to operational downtime, lost cargo, and even vessel collisions.

The cost of ignoring Wireless Threats
Rogue Access Points
Enable covert intrusion into OT systems
GPS Spoofing
Causes navigation errors, vessel grounding, and cargo delays
Unmanaged Wireless/IoT Devices
Creates backdoors for attackers via BYOD or third-party devices
RF Jamming or Signal Interference
Interrupts port logistics, ship communications, and safety systems
Lack of Continuous Monitoring
Results in failure to meet 33 CFR 106 cybersecurity mandates
No Forensic Data
Makes it impossible to investigate, respond, or demonstrate compliance during audits
Regulatory Urgency: USCG's 2025 Cybersecurity Rule (33 CFR 106)
- Baseline cyber risk assessments
- Continuous cybersecurity monitoring
- Incident response plans
- Documentation and audit readiness
- Enforcement of cybersecurity procedures and controls
These requirements explicitly extend to wireless and RF-based cyber threats - an area unmonitored by most maritime cybersecurity stacks today.
