Developing requirements for MASS cybersecurity research infrastructure
FY 2021-22 · 2021-10-01
Summary
Cybersecurity is a critical dimension of increasing marine automation. Industry, academia, government and other regulators are increasingly aware of the need for research and development around MASS cybersecurity, but early work in the area lacks co-ordination among key stakeholders. This project will develop a set of requirements for NRC-hosted virtual and physical infrastructure to support MASS cybersecurity research. This future infrastructure will support research, development, integration and proving by a variety of partners from industry, academia and the Government of Canada. Once designed and implemented, such infrastructure will provide a common resource for key stakeholders to reduce MASS risks and enable new opportunities in marine innovation. Before it can be designed, however, it is essential to gather requirements from a broad base of stakeholders. This project proposes to do this by conducting a literature review, organizing a stakeholder workshop and producing a final report detailing the requirements we will discover.

Description (French)
La cybersécurité est un volet essentiel du développement de l’automatisation marine. L’industrie, le milieu universitaire, le gouvernement et d’autres organismes de réglementation sont de plus en plus conscientisés à l’importance de la recherche-développement en matière de cybersécurité des navires de surface autonomes (NSA), mais les premiers travaux dans ce domaine manquent de coordination entre les principaux intervenants. Ce projet développera un ensemble d’exigences pour l’infrastructure virtuelle et physique hébergée par le CNRC afin de soutenir la recherche sur la cybersécurité des NSA. Cette future infrastructure soutiendra la recherche, le développement, l’intégration et la mise à l’épreuve par une variété de partenaires de l’industrie, du milieu universitaire et du gouvernement du Canada. Une fois conçue et mise en œuvre, cette infrastructure fournira une ressource commune aux principaux intervenants afin de réduire les risques liés aux NSA et de permettre de nouvelles possibilités d’innovation maritime. Cependant, avant de pouvoir la concevoir, il est essentiel de recueillir les exigences d’un large éventail d’intervenants. Ce projet propose de le faire en réalisant une analyse documentaire, en organisant un atelier pour les intervenants et en produisant un rapport détaillant les exigences que nous découvrirons.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
