Homeland Security Enhances Port Cyber Security

Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Initiative for Ports

The US Department of Homeland Security has embarked on a significant initiative to bolster cybersecurity within the Maritime Transport System (MTS). This system is crucial for ensuring safe and unrestricted navigation across US waterways. Given that ports contribute a staggering $649 billion to the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and support 13 million jobs, their security is paramount.
