On May 12th, FEPORT submitted its reply to the public consultation on the proposal for a revised Cybersecurity Act (CSA 2).
FEPORT reply explained the functioning of data-sharing in port operations and across maritime supply chains, elaborating on how this impacts the sector’s exposure to cyber threats.
FEPORT underlined that a successful cybersecurity policy should address risks up- and downstream ports, taking into account B2B and B2A data-exchanges.
Regarding potential bans of “high-risk” third country suppliers, FEPORT recommended considering the availability of EU-based alternatives as well as the possibility of prescribing mitigating measures as an alternative to a full ban.
