Why Compliance Alone Won’t Protect You: The Case for a Maritime SOC Intended Audience
CISOs, CySOs, IT/OT security teams, executives responsible for cyber risk oversight.
Many maritime organizations assume that achieving compliance with the Coast Guard cybersecurity rule equates to being secure. In practice, compliance establishes a baseline—but it does not provide continuous visibility into active threats, misconfigurations, or emerging attack patterns targeting maritime environments.
This webinar explores the gap between compliance and security through the lens of detection and response. It examines how cyber incidents in ports and vessels often go undetected due to limited monitoring of OT systems, insufficient log collection, and lack of maritime-specific threat context.
Attendees will learn what capabilities a maritime SOC must possess to be effective, including OT-aware monitoring, threat correlation across IT and OT, and incident response aligned to maritime operations. The session also addresses how SOC functions complement—not replace—compliance activities.
“Too many maritime organizations know they need to act but don’t know where to start. This session is about giving you a realistic, step-by-step way to build a Coast Guard-aligned cybersecurity plan in 90 days — and actually stick to it.”
