The Maritime Cybersecurity Act aims to enhance the cybersecurity of maritime facilities in the United States. Its primary goal is to ensure that the software and hardware used in these facilities are assessed for cybersecurity risks, thereby improving overall security in the maritime transportation system. Key provisions of this act include several requirements for the Secretary of the department overseeing the Coast Guard. The Secretary must conduct annual assessments of cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to specific software and hardware used in maritime facilities.
