Security of systems for monitoring and controlling maritime traffic

U diplomskom radu „Sigurnost informacijskog sustava za nadzor i upravljanje pomorskim prometom“, razrađuju se bitne komponente koje čine jedan ovako složen sustav kao što je VTMIS. Prezentira se i obrađuje proces njihova rada i važnost posla koji obavljaju. RH je pomorska zemlja, članica EU, s turizmom kao najjačom privrednom granom, što joj ne dozvoljava da ni u jednom trenutku zanemari područje koje se bavi pomorskom sigurnosti na svome dijelu Jadranskog mora. Uzimajući u obzir globalne izazove kao terorizam, migrantske krize, hibridne ratove, u ovom radu će se s aspekta nacionalne sigurnosti analizirati postojeće stanje te iznijeti predviđanja o potencijalnim prijetnjama radu sustava što je ujedno i cilj ovoga rada. Nadalje razrađuje se pojam sigurnosti, nacionalne sigurnosti i informacijske sigurnosti, kako bi prikazali VTMIS sustav kao dio nacionalne kritične infrastrukture te koliko je značajan za nacionalnu sigurnost RH. Razrađivanjem tema dolazi se do zaključka da prijetnje itekako postoje i da su prisutne, a zabrinjava ne baš teška mogućnost da se i ostvare. Potrebno je mijenjati dosadašnji koncept zaštite koji uglavnom prepoznaje samo konvencionalne prijetnje. Danas da bi imali zaštitu koja je recipročna prijetnjama potrebna je sveobuhvatna zaštita, odnosno zaštita koja će udružit i sinkronizirati sve sigurnosne organe, ali i sigurnosno-kulturološki obrazovati širu populaciju.This paper on “Security of the maritime traffic monitoring and information system” gives an analysis and an overview of main elements of a complex system such as the VTMIS. It explains its processes and activities, and the importance of its work. The Republic of Croatia is a maritime country, a member of the European Union, with tourism as the strongest economic branch. That means Croatia should never neglect areas that deal with maritime security on its owe side of the Adriatic Sea. Global challenges such as terrorism, the migrant crisis, hybrid wars will be examined in its current form especially from the aspect of the national security. It will provide a foresight on potential threats to the system, as the main aim of this paper. A term of a security will be elaborated, as well as terms of national security and information security, in order to present the VTMIS system as part of the national critical infrastructure and its importance for the national security of the Republic of Croatia. Analysing different subjects, the conclusion can be made that threats are present and they exist, but the biggest concern is the actual possibility of them becoming a reality. There is a need to change the current security concept that now mostly recognizes conventional threats. In order to have a protection that is reciprocal to the threats, a comprehensive approach to the security and protection is needed. That kind of protection will join and synchronize all security elements, as well as educate a wide population in the security and cultural field
