Georgia Tech Study Reveals Maritime Cyber Gaps

Georgia Tech researchers interviewed 20 military sailors for a paper accepted to the 2026 ACM CCS conference held Nov. 15, 19 at The Hague. The study found 13 participants found standard training irrelevant, while 17 described cybersecurity as a low priority. Experts warn that GPS spoofing could cause ships to drift into shallow water without triggering alarms.
