How Industry Feedback is Shaping Maritime Cybersecurity Regulations The US Coast Guard (USCG) is charting a course towards more secure waters with proposed cybersecurity regulations for US-flagged vessels. Industry feedback is playing a crucial role in shaping these regulations, with comments highlighting concerns about burden, practicality, and alignment with existing measures. The USCG recognizes the increasing reliance on cyber-connected systems in the maritime industry. While they enhance operational efficiency, they also expose vulnerabilities. The Colonial Pipeline hack in Spring 2021 serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of cyberattacks. What are the industry's main concerns? - Burden on Smaller Companies: Smaller companies, like those in tug and barge operations, lack large IT departments and rely on external consultants. They request risk-based plans tailored to their specific needs. - Alternative Security Plans: Industry groups like the American Waterways Operators (AWO) propose incorporating cybersecurity into existing security plans to avoid duplication. - Streamlined Reporting: Concerns exist about excessive reporting requirements. Industry suggests establishing thresholds for reportable incidents and streamlining reporting through the National Response Center. - Cybersecurity Officers: The proposed regulations mandate cybersecurity officers on every vessel. Industry argues this may not be practical and suggests alternative approaches. - Drill Frequency: The proposed frequency of cybersecurity drills is seen as excessive by some. Major shipping lines like Maersk Line are calling for clear, standardized, and risk-based regulations that leverage existing best practices. They advocate for a balance between security and practicality. The USCG issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) regarding cyber security for US-flagged vessels in late February 2024. The comment period has now closed, and the USCG is currently reviewing industry comments. The final regulations are expected to be a well-charted course, incorporating industry feedback to ensure effective and practical measures that safeguard the maritime industry from cyber threats. #Cybersecurity #USCG #ShippingIndustry #Shipping #MaritimeCybersecurity #MaritimeSafety

IACS' latest position paper on 'Cyber Systems' showcases the newest set of technical recommendations developed to support cyber resilience of vessels, onboard systems & equipment. Including: _ IACS Contribution to IMO's cyber risk management guidelines. _ Unified Requirements: Development of UR E26 and UR E27 for ship & system cyber resilience. _ Risk Management: Published Recommendation 171 for cyber risk in Safety Management Systems. 🔶«Cyber Resilience of ships» aims to ensure the secure integration of this equipment into the vessel’s network during the design, construction, commissioning, and operational life of the vessel. This UR targets the vessel as a collective entity for cyber resilience and covers five key aspects : 🔸Identify 🔸Protect 🔸Detect 🔸Respond 🔸Recover #Cybersecurity #IMO_Guidelines #Cyber_Risk_Management
