I am still the Captain now!

DEF CON 32 Creator Stage · Day 1 · Creator Stage
In "I am still the Captain now!", Paul Brownridge, an experienced OT and maritime cybersecurity professional, delves into the complex and often overlooked cybersecurity landscape of large container ships. The talk uses the highly publicized MV Dali incident, where a container ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, as a topical entry point. Brownridge aims to move beyond speculative "hack" theories by providing a grounded, technical understanding of ship operational technology (OT) systems, their interconnectedness, and inherent vulnerabilities.
