Coast Guard’s Cyber Makeover: From Sea Savers to Cyber Ghostbusters!
In a daring move, the Coast Guard has jazzed up their Maritime Cyber Risk Management. Adding some spice to ‘poor cyber hygiene’, they’ve also gift-wrapped the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for marine safety personnel. And if things get eerie? Just call cyber ghostbuster, Steve Kwan. They’re not just guarding coasts, they’re guarding cyberspace too!
Hot Take:
Looks like the Coast Guard has decided to take a swing at the 'Hide and Seek' championship with their Cyber Baddies. They've updated their Cyber Risk Management Work Instruction (CVC-WI-027). Basically, they've added a few words to the 'poor cyber hygiene' section and decided to red-tape the procedures during the port state control exams. All this while celebrating the upgrade in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and updating the 'who to call when you see a cyber ghost' section. So next time you're on a vessel and see anything fishy, just dial up good ol' Steve Kwan, the Cybersecurity Specialist. He's the Coast Guard's cyber Ghostbuster!Already a member? Log in here
