Cyber-SHIP Lab, situated at the University of Plymouth,[1][2] is a research facility dedicated to researching and address cybersecurity threats in the maritime industry.[3] Professor Kevin Jones is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation at the university and Principal Investigator at the lab.[4]
The lab is able to create realistic physical twins of networks of ship equipment to test for vulnerabilities against maritime control systems.[5][6] The lab works with industry to ensure the security of shipping infrastructure.[7]
History
[edit]The Cyber-SHIP Lab was founded in 2019 as a collaborative initiative between the University of Plymouth and industry partners.[8][9] It was funded by Research England.[10] The lab was initially given three years funding which expired in 2022.[1] The lab cost £3 million to construct.[11]
In 2021, the lab partnered with the Royal Navy on marine-tech projects including the Project Hecla, originally started in 2018.[12][13]
In 2023[14] and 2024,[15] the lab co-organised a symposium on maritime cybersecurity and resilience along with the International Maritime Organization.[16] The event was held in London.[17]
