Context
The significance of cybersecurity in Europe and worldwide extends beyond mere protection, as it plays a vital role in fostering and safeguarding democratic principles and values. The rapid technological advancements and the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing are key drivers of social and technological progress. Consequently, the state of cybersecurity becomes crucial for the acceleration of societal evolution along these new trajectories. The growing importance of cybersecurity has been further amplified by global challenges such as climate change, human rights violations, global ethics, war and peace. The Euro-Atlantic region faces an exceptionally elevated level of cyber risks owing to its unique geopolitical landscape and the presence of highly interconnected and technologically advanced communities. These factors make the region an attractive target for both state-sponsored and non-state cyber attackers. In the global landscape, the maritime industry holds immense significance due to its inherent nature and its capacity to impact the world economy through strategic ripple effects. Addressing cybersecurity challenges within the maritime sector is exceptionally complex, given its role as a convergence point for critical infrastructures. This convergence amplifies the risk of contagion and the potential for adverse consequences, which are challenging to quantify and anticipate accurately.
