Benchmark: Cybersecurity Standards for U.S.-Flagged Vessels and Facilities

Take this benchmark to assess how much you would benefit from taking the course on Cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System. In a few minutes, you’ll gauge how well you grasp the intent behind the Coast Guard’s proposed rule, who it affects, and the practical trade-offs it introduces across IT/OT operations, reporting, vendor access, and documentation. Your responses will highlight where deeper guidance could save you time and reduce risk—building a compliant cybersecurity plan, designating and empowering a Cybersecurity Officer, segmenting networks, hardening accounts and devices, and knowing when and how to report incidents. If several items feel uncertain or you find yourself choosing between speed and security without confidence, this course will close those gaps with clear steps, examples, and checklists you can put to work immediately.
