Since the 1990s, concern regarding the security of computer networks against adversaries has existed in the maritime community. Considering the nations ports are the economic and transportation gateways to the world, it is imperative that the systems used to facilitate smooth operations in the port environment be secured from outside disruption. The Coast Guard is the regulatory agency charged with ensuring security of the nations ports, however it is ill equipped to adequately handle the cybersecurity mission in the ports due to lack of resources, skill sets and clear authorities.
