Hull Integrity: Applying MOSAICS to Naval Mission Systems
Breaks down how the US Department of Defense MOSAICS Block 1 framework provides real-time OT monitoring and behavioral threat detection on Naval vessels.
Summary
Cyber-Physical Attack Surfaces in Naval Fleets
Modern naval vessels integrate interconnected operational technology (OT) systems managing propulsion, electrical power distribution, damage control, and weapons systems, creating complex cyber-physical attack surfaces.
The MOSAICS Block 1 Framework
Developed by the Department of Defense, the More Situational Awareness for Industrial Control Systems (MOSAICS) Block 1 framework establishes reference architectures for real-time asset discovery, monitoring, and behavioral threat detection tailored for mission-critical ICS.
Adapting Reference Architectures to Shipboard Systems
Michael Frank explains how the Department of the Navy adapts MOSAICS to legacy and modern naval systems, overcoming severe constraints regarding compute availability, network bandwidth, and disconnected maritime operations.
Operationalizing OT Defense at Scale
Deploying automated behavioral detection and safe asset inventory aboard naval vessels enhances fleet cyber survivability without interfering with critical mission operations or weapons control.
