The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has published a request for information (RFI) for commercial port operators to advance the work of the directorate’s Maritime Port Resiliency and Security Research Testbed project, which studies vulnerabilities in U.S. ports and the effectiveness of current protections and mitigations. Based on the information it receives, S&T will provide actionable cybersecurity recommendations that the maritime port industry can implement to ensure safe and efficient maritime commerce.

Interested organizations in the port infrastructure space are encouraged to visit the RFI on Sam.gov. 

The deadline for RFI submissions is October 4, 2024, at 5 p.m. EST.
