Abstract

In the ever-changing landscape of maritime operations, securing critical shipboard equipment is of paramount importance. This paper propose the Full overlap ship security model (FOSM), a system designed to protect the critical equipment on board the ships. The model is a holistic combination of various security aspects, including physical protection, robust tamper protection, vigilant monitoring and incident detection, advanced anti-virus protection, fault-tolerant backup and recovery protocols, and comprehensive training modules. What makes the model unique is that it is seamlessly integrated with the very lifeblood of ships their critical equipment. This symbiotic relationship strengthens the foundation for safe operation even in the challenging and dynamic conditions of the high seas. With the (FOSM), maritime security goes beyond mere caution and becomes an assurance that allows vessels to navigate the seas with confidence, reliability and security.
