Port Security: Inspection and Prohibition of Foreign Cranes
New regulations aim to enhance security at U.S. ports by mandating inspections of foreign port cranes for security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the act prohibits the use of new cranes from countries deemed a threat and gradually phases out foreign software from existing cranes. This is intended to protect critical infrastructure and data from potential attacks.
Key points
Mandatory security inspections for new foreign port cranes, especially those connected to port cybersecurity networks.
Prohibition on the use of new port cranes originating from countries identified as threats to U.S. security.
Gradual phasing out of foreign software from existing port cranes within 5 years.
Enhancing maritime transportation and port security by eliminating potential system vulnerabilities.
