Town Hall Webinar
"Roles and Responsibilities under the CG Final Rule on Cyber"
Join Cliff Neve, VP of Maritime Cybersecurity at MAD Security, for an in-depth, no-nonsense discussion on what the new U.S. Coast Guard Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System Final Rule (33 CFR 101 Subpart F) means for FSOs, CySOs, owners/operators, and maritime personnel.
Whether you’re in port operations, fleet management, compliance, or cybersecurity leadership, this session will clarify exactly who’s responsible for what — and how to meet these new regulatory expectations before deadlines hit.
“This is one of the most important shifts we’ve seen in maritime security in decades — the Coast Guard has made it clear that cybersecurity is now a core part of safety and compliance. My goal is to make these new roles and responsibilities understandable, actionable, and achievable for everyone involved.”
— Cliff Neve
