NMSAC to Look at Maritime Cybersecurity Efforts

Today, the Coast Guard published a meeting notice in the Federal Register (86 FR 53973-53974) for a teleconference of the National Maritime Security Advisory Committee (NMSAC) on October 28^th, 2021. The meeting will include the presentation of two new cybersecurity tasks for consideration by NMSAC.

NOTE: There are currently some problems with the CG Homeport web site and the links to the NMSAC page are returning a ‘Cannot Be Found’ message as of this writing.

The two new cybersecurity taskings are:

• Provide feedback on cyber vulnerability assessments that are being conducted within the industry, and

• Provide input to support further development of the Maritime Cyber Risk Assessment Model.
