Resumen

The maritime industry faces increasing cyber threats that jeopardize the safety and efficiency of its operations. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze cybersecurity in this industry. We used SCOPUS databases and the PRISMA methodology, applying rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria to select relevant articles. The results of these articles show that the most common threats include attacks on navigation systems and manipulation of cargo data. The reviewed studies indicate growing concern over insufficient regulations and lack of cybersecurity training. Additionally, it highlighted the need to improve cyber defenses through robust policies and international cooperation. In conclusion, the maritime industry must adopt a proactive and coordinated stance to address these challenges and ensure the resilience of its operations within the digital environment.
