Recommendations to Port to reduce GPS/AIS jamming/spoofing risks:

Implement verification mechanisms for GPS and AIS data.
Use multiple sources of location (other GNSS constellation, physical checks) to cross-verify GPS/AIS information.
Regularly monitor for signal interference and anomalies in navigation systems.
Use Controlled Radiation Pattern Antennas.
Educate personnel about the risks and signs of GPS/AIS spoofing attacks.
Work with your CSIRT organization to know the geographical zones at risk.
