Actual Attacks on Two Virtual Ships…Full Process Demonstration of Resilience Index (CRI) and Four-Stage Maturity Assessment
 
Kuntec, a specialized convergence security company, disclosed the Year 3 demonstration results of a national R&D project targeting IACS ship cybersecurity regulations UR E26 and E27 in a real equipment environment. The key feature is that the entire process from actual attack scenario deployment through detection, response, and evidence accumulation was verified on-site.
 
Kuntec announced on the 26th that it had held a Year 3 demonstration briefing session on the 19th at its Pangyo headquarters for the 'Development of Core Security Technologies for Smart Ship International Regulation Compliance' project, supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Institute of Information & communications Technology Planning & Evaluation (IITP).

Key stakeholders from participating and client organizations including classification societies, shipyards, equipment suppliers, and shipping companies attended the event.
 
Attack Scenario Demonstration in Real Equipment Environment
 
The demonstration was conducted on two virtual ships configured identically to actual ship network architecture.

Actual attacks including malware injection, GPS jamming and spoofing, unauthorized remote access, and DDoS were deployed to demonstrate the entire process from detection through response to evidence accumulation.

Additionally, a system was validated that calculates ships' cyber resilience levels using a resilience index (CRI) and evaluates them with a four-stage maturity model.

Kuntec explained that the entire certification procedure from application for evaluation through certification issuance to post-management follow-up can be simulated on the platform, allowing ship owners and shipyards to verify target rating requirements in advance.

The UR E27 certification procedure for ship-mounted components (CBS) is supported through checklists and evidence management.
 
Commercialization of Research Outcomes
 
The project outcomes are connected to △TeraGRID Maritime (TGM), a ship integrated cyber resilience platform △KR-CRP (Cyber Resilience Platform), a ship cyber resilience platform jointly developed with Korean Register △KR-Tester, a ship field security testing tool.

Security events detected in real-time on ships are automatically aggregated into international regulation compliance status and linked to documents and evidence required for classification society inspections, Kuntec explained.

Kuntec is conducting verification (PoC) with major domestic shipping companies this year and preparing for official launch.
 
Kuntec CEO Bang Hyuk-jun stated, "The goal of this project is to address regulatory compliance through data and actual measurement rather than documentation work," and added, "Based on demonstration results spanning from design through operation to inspection, we will enhance the cyber resilience level of Korea's shipbuilding and maritime industry."
