The John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center was asked
by the Office of Security of the Maritime Administration to examine
the issue of industrial control systems (ICS) security in the
Maritime Transportation System (MTS), and to develop a white paper
based upon its findings for circulation amongst MTS stakeholders.
In evaluating the issue, this paper first discusses the role of the
MTS as part of the domestic and international transportation system
and global supply chain, and provides examples of the economic
impact of past natural and manmade disruptions to the MTS. It next
explores the uses and applications of ICS throughout the MTS,
identifies potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities of ICS, and
provides examples of possible ICS failures and the potential impact
on the MTS. Finally, the paper explores the issue in the context of
Federal policy governing critical infrastructure, cybersecurity and
supply chain resilience, and makes a number of recommendations that
government agencies and the private sector might consider in order
to mitigate the ICS security risks.
