Cyber Resilience Workshop: PNWER Cybersecurity Situational Awareness Project

The Pacific Northwest Economic Region and its Center for Regional Disaster Resilience (CRDR) have been awarded a 2017 National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) Security and Resilience Challenge grant for the Maritime Transportation System Cyber Resilience Category. The primary objective of this project is to establish a maritime industry information sharing and analysis process and to work with existing regulatory and standards organizations to create a robust cyber resource and information sharing community.

As part of the process, PNWER has designed a survey to develop a baseline of current best practices and investments in cyber-security by maritime related organizations in the Puget Sound Region. The survey also serves as an excellent self-assessment of cybersecurity readiness and capabilities. To view or take the survey visit bit.ly/maritimecybersurvey.

Join us March 6, 2018, from 9:00-11:00AM at Seattle OEM for an initial planning workshop. 

The workshop will include:

• Update on current cyber threats
• Review of the preliminary results of our recent survey assessing the current cybersecurity capabilities of the regional maritime industry
• Opportunity to provide initial input as we begin developing a CONOPS for reporting cybersecurity incidents
• Discuss Puget Sound maritime cybersecurity readiness and gaps
