Summary

Strengthening Cybersecurity Information Sharing and Coordination in Our Ports Act of 2015 This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to seek to enhance cybersecurity situational awareness and information sharing between and with maritime security stakeholders from federal, state, local, and tribal governments, public safety and emergency response agencies, law enforcement and security organizations, maritime industry participants, port owners and operators, and maritime terminal owners and operators. DHS must: (1) consult with the Coast Guard to enhance participation by the Maritime Information Sharing and Analysis Center in the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center; and (2) request that the National Maritime Security Advisory Committee report and make recommendations to DHS on methods to enhance cybersecurity and information sharing between such stakeholders, including the establishment of a council to facilitate national-level sharing of security information and coordination of strategies to mitigate cybersecurity risks in the maritime sector. The Coast Guard must direct captains of designated ports to establish a working group of members of Area Maritime Security Advisory Committees to facilitate the sharing of information about, and development of plans to address, port-specific cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The Coast Guard must also require that Area Maritime Security Plans and facility security plans approved after enactment of this Act include mitigation measures to prevent, manage, and respond to cyber threats and vulnerabilities. DHS must ensure that maritime security risk assessments include cybersecurity risks to ports and the maritime border of the United States.
