New Year Compliance Kickstart: Developing Your Coast Guard Cybersecurity Plan in 90 Days
Join Cliff Neve, VP of Maritime Cybersecurity at MAD Security, for a practical, workshop-style session designed to help ports, terminals, and vessel operators start the year with a clear, executable Coast Guard cybersecurity plan.
This is not a high-level overview or compliance sales pitch. We’ll walk through a 90-day framework for building or maturing your Coast Guard Cybersecurity Plan, breaking down what must be documented, who needs to be involved, and how to move from intent to execution without overwhelming your organization..
“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.”
— Cliff Neve
