The Coast Guard will build more cyber teams to focus on the cybersecurity of maritime critical infrastructure from attacks after a rash of hacks and ransomware incidents that shut down key services, the service’s top cyber officer announced Tuesday.

Its new Cyber Strategic Outlook was developed over the past 18 months and is the first update to the Coast Guard’s cyber strategy since it was signed in 2015. The changes come amid concerns over the increased vulnerability of critical infrastructure and uptick in attacks like the Colonial Pipeline ransomeware incident, Rear Adm. Michael Ryan, commander of the Coast Guard’s Cyber Command said at the Sea-Air-Space conference.

“It really is about revitalizing the focus of our organization,” he said.

Another part of the strategy focuses on protecting the guard’s own IT platform, the Enterprise Mission Platform (EMP), which is part of the Department of Defense’ Information Network (DODIN). The goal is to ensure the Guard has secure connectivity to carry out its broader homeland defense mission, according to the strategy.

The service has sought to modernize its legacy IT since 2020.
