Navies are obvious targets of hostile national and nonstate cyber actions. Almost every aspect of commercial maritime activities has become digitized and interconnected and thus vulnerable to cyber intrusions, sabotage, viruses, and destruction. In an era when 85 percent of global trade and 70 percent of all liquid fuels travel by sea, cyber effects on ships, port-handling equipment, shipping companies, maritime suppliers, and other maritime industries can cripple manufacturing industries and retail businesses on a global basis. Neither navies nor commercial shipping can “sail away” from cyber threats.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInitially, naval leaders had difficulty accepting and preparing for cyber warfare, which is largely viewed as a problem on land and from which ships were perceived as disconnected. As a consequence, effectively integrating cyber operations into its naval warfighting planning has proven challenging not only for the U.S. Navy, but for allied and adversary navies as well. The U.S. Navy created Fleet Cyber Command (FCC), with the U.S. Navy’s Tenth Fleet as its cyber operational arm and the Navy’s component contributing to U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM). However, thus far those efforts appear not to have served the Navy or USCYBERCOM as well as anticipated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyber Warfare and Navies\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoutlines the various threats that cyber warfare poses to naval and commercial maritime operations as well as the abilities of modern navies to defend against those threats. It explains how navies are organized and equipped for cyber operations and the concepts and doctrine adopted by those navies—and provides recommendations on how to improve maritime cyber operations. The book covers not just the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S Coast Guard, but also the navies of allies, opponents (China, Russia), and others. The book also explores the relationship between the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and USCYBERCOM.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSam Tangredi\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaptain Sam J.

The authors outline the struggles to integrate cyber warfare with naval warfare by highlighting critical gaps in policy, technologies, organization, and legal precedents while also offering practical solutions to many of these challenges. The most compelling point is that the cyber attack surface for the maritime domain is unique, particularly with respect to defending and targeting maritime operational technologies.  It makes little sense to seriously consider a single cyber service, if you understand experts are required to defend the maritime attack surface against cyber attack.  Similarly, naval cyber experts are critical to complementing kinetic naval operations with cyber attack options.  Finally, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyber Warfare and Navies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e effectively argues that achieving maritime superiority is contingent upon naval cyber superiority. \"—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADM Jan E.
