Maritime Port and Vessel Cybersecurity
RCCE students will learn the security of port operations, vessel networks, navigation support systems, cargo handling environments, and maritime logistics technology. RCCE students will learn to identify unique maritime attack surfaces, understand operational dependencies, evaluate segmentation and access control, and assess how cyber events can disrupt safety, logistics, and international trade. The course covers practical scenarios ranging from port infrastructure review to vessel risk assessment and incident preparedness. RCCE students will learn to analyze complex systems and think like an attacker to better defend the organization. This comprehensive course delivers practical knowledge applicable to real-world cybersecurity operations. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn through a combination of concept explanation, practical demonstration, and hands-on exercises.
