As the ISAO for the nation's Maritime and Port Critical infrastructure, the MPS-ISAO provides a globally trusted and secure collaborative technology infrastructure to operationalize and sustain cyber resilience via greater information sharing of public and private sector and cross-sector threat intelligence and countermeasure solutions supported by coordinated response and adoption of best practice. The MPS-ISAO recently completed their first year of Services. A major highlight from this first year included being chosen by the Florida Seaport Transportation and Economic Development Council (FSTED) to provide critical cybersecurity Alerts and Services to all 14 Florida Ports as part of their Common Operational Picture (COP) platform, CommandBridge.

Coffey continues, "We learned so much this past year, and have a solid foundation beneath us. As we pivot, 2019 is expected to be a year of significant growth – customers, intelligence, technological capabilities, and public and private sector partnerships. Recent maritime cybersecurity incidents reinforce our commitment to protecting this sector, and the CSO50 Award is a wonderful way to top-off a successful first year."
