[QUOTE=Earl Boebert;192741]You know, I spent part of my career running full-spectrum threat exercises against sites that “took security very seriously” and had a pretty good success ratio. “Full spectrum” means you look at everything, surreptitious entry, shooting your way in, whatever.
So my question is: robovessel is steaming along in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific, and is boarded by a takeover team that knows what they are doing. How is this detected, what is the reliability of the transmission that signals the alarm to home base, and (best case) how long before an armed vessel shows up to take it back?
Could have the plot of a pretty good adventure movie here

We are talking about civilian ships, not the US Navy’s autonomous warships here.
But you are right, the developers of cyber protection for such ships have to think very broadly, including physical takeover of the ships by “terrorists” or unfriendly forces.
Maybe you should offer your expertise to the project? Civilians may not have the right mindset for that task.

FINALLY somebody here admitted the obvious. To resist IS futile and those who resist development will be left behind. Let’s hope they don’t try to shoot themselves out.
