Industrial Onboard and Ashore Systems
This functionality of the Cyber Range focuses on the Machinery Monitoring and Control System (MMCS) onboard ships, and for critical infrastructure at ports and operation centers. Participants are introduced to various ICS/IT cyber-attack techniques using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The Cyber Range and training sessions can cover sophisticated attack scenarios, including pivoting attacks that demonstrate how adversaries can move between compromised maritime assets.
The MMCS functionality offers a realistic interface for monitoring ship machinery, using virtual controllers and real-time data to recreate the control environment found in ships' engine rooms. This hands-on experience is crucial for understanding the vulnerabilities and protective strategies associated with maritime industrial systems.
