Shore-Based Operations & Fleet Operations Centers Cybersecurity

Shore-Based Operations & Fleet Operations Centers Cybersecurity is a complete, operationally-grounded
course for the shore-side teams - Fleet Operations Centers, MSOCs, VTS operators, and Remote Operations
Centers - who now carry as much operational responsibility for a fleet's safety as the ships themselves.

Across 30 chapters and six parts, the book covers shore operations architecture and the threat landscape;
fleet telematics, remote monitoring, and voyage optimization (telemetry pipelines, OEM remote diagnostics,
voyage ERP, vendor remote access, crew telecoms); coastal Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), radar, and maritime
surveillance (VTS architecture, AIS shore spoofing, radar tracking, VHF voice security, hydrographic ENC/S-63);
Remote Operations Centers (ROC) and Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) - teleoperation links,
tele-command injection, situational awareness, emergency handover; Maritime Security Operations Center (MSOC)
architecture, threat hunting, and incident response; and maritime enterprise governance, supply chain
resiliency, and future trends (BEC/bunker fraud, classification-society portal security, MSP governance,
maritime ISAC coordination, post-quantum cryptography).

Every chapter follows the same structure: learning objectives, key terminology, a documented real-world
incident or a clearly-labelled illustrative scenario, a critical safety warning, a step-by-step technical
runbook, competency mapping to recognized frameworks, and a hands-on Platform Lab Session connected to the
Maritime Cyber Range training platform's guided terminal labs. Five back-matter appendices cover a shore
cybersecurity assessment checklist, a maritime telemetry protocols reference, the platform's CLI reference, a
MITRE ATT&CK for Enterprise & Maritime Shore matrix, and full worked solutions with reasoning for every lab
exercise.

Real, sourced incidents - including CMA CGM's 2020 Ragnar Locker ransomware attack and the Yara
Birkeland/Kongsberg Remote Operations Center programme - are presented alongside clearly-labelled illustrative
training scenarios grounded in IMO, IACS UR E26/E27, and IALA guidance, so readers always know which is which.

Written for fleet management companies, shore-based security operations teams, and VTS/ROC operators who need
to defend real shore-to-ship systems, not just pass an exam.
