Denial of Service (D.o.S.) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks aim to overwhelm a system or network, making it inaccessible to legitimate users. In the maritime context, a successful DoS or DDoS attack can disrupt critical communication channels, hamper vessel operations, or hinder port activities. To mitigate the impact of such attacks, maritime organizations should invest in robust infrastructure, employ traffic filtering mechanisms, and develop comprehensive incident response plans to ensure minimal disruption and a swift recovery.
