ABSTRACT

More than 99% of Korea's import and export volume is carried out by sea, so maritime transport plays a very important role in the import and export sector. In particular, port terminals, which are the hubs of maritime transport, are important facilities for efficient maritime transport as the starting point and end point of maritime transport. The government also recognizes the importance of maritime transport and is considering converting port terminals to smart ports by applying smart technologies such as the Internet of Things to improve the efficiency of port terminals, and some ports are already constructing and operating smart port terminals. Currently, domestic port terminals are designated as important logistics facilities and national infrastructure facilities and are managed at the national level. However, port terminals are operated by individual companies, so there are limitations in more efficient management and operation at the national level. In addition, systematic cybersecurity of port terminals is necessary to deal with cybersecurity risks such as cyber hacking that are rapidly increasing. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to conduct research on the construction and operation of a cybersecurity management system required for port terminals, especially smart ports. In this paper, we show the current status of domestic port terminals and the establishment of a port cybersecurity system linked to port terminals are presented, with the main goal of activating cybersecurity in smart ports. Through this study, it is believed that efficient cybersecurity in smart ports will be possible through the activation of the port cybersecurity system in smart port terminals and the application of actual smart ports
