Objective:

This project developed a Cyber-Ready Ships framework document that ship owners can

reference in their specifications for newbuild ships, providing shipyards with clear requirements

for delivering Cyber-Ready Ships.

 

Summary:

The implementation roadmap is agnostic to specific technology vendors/tools and focuses on the major elements of activities that are completed by shipyards and artifacts that are delivered with ships to demonstrate that a ship is Cyber-Ready for Government fleet owners/operators to complete their cybersecurity certification processes and gain appropriate Authority-to-Operate (ATO).

Key Deliverables / Benefits:

  • Proactively manage cybersecurity risks.
  • Reduce the shipbuilding cost of meeting currently uncertain and changing cybersecurity requirements for ship deliveries.
  • Better prepare Government fleet owner/operators to complete cybersecurity certifications and gain ATOs using information delivered with ships.
  • Help improve cybersecurity posture for ships within a framework that considers the full supply chain associated with ship delivery (shipbuilders, OEMs, system integrators, etc.).
