On June 19, FEPORT responded to the public consultation and call for evidence regarding the ongoing revision of the Cybersecurity Act.
Cybersecurity is gaining importance in ports and terminals as they are increasingly becoming information-rich environments. The focus on ports as dual use assets supporting military mobility as well as the implementation of NIS 2 is also playing a role in this respect.
FEPORT reply welcomed the planned revision of the Cybersecurity Act and the listed aims such as increasingly considering non-technical risk factors and streamlining and simplifying the cybersecurity requirements stemming from different pieces of legislation that companies need to implement.
FEPORT also recommended a strengthened role of ENISA in areas such as sharing anonymised data on incidents and threats with industry actors, encouraging the agency to step up its efforts in providing guidance on cyber risk management for ports, in collaboration with industry stakeholders and taking into account existing standards used by industry.
