NATIONAL MARITIME CYBERSECURITY PLAN entities have entered into bilateral agreements that allow public and private MTS stakeholders to share information, protecting the proprietary rights of non-public businesses. Through the United States Coast Guard, DHS facilitates processes for sharing information, and potentially, intelligence between MTSAregulated facilities, private sector partners, and the international maritime community. DHS will extend domestic successes to identify avenues to share maritime cybersecurity information and intelligence, as applicable, with the international community. Priority Action 3: Prioritize maritime cybersecurity intelligence collection. Because the nation depends on the free flow of maritime commerce, this Plan validates the prioritization of maritime intelligence collection to protect United States interests domestically and abroad. Elevating the importance of maritime cybersecurity in the collection of intelligence requirements provides insights into adversarial tactics, actions, motives, and intent. This enables public and private maritime partners to better prepare and defend networks from adversary exploitation. The United States will develop and prioritize maritime cyber intelligence requirements, including assessments of partners’ cybersecurity needs and capabilities, broadly sharing with MTS stakeholders, to the extent allowable, to guide risk modeling and adversary cyber risk assessments. 8
