United States Coast Guard Cyber Strategy
From the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, Admiral Paul F. Zukunft: For more than two centuries, the U.S. Coast Guard has performed increasingly complex missions in the most challenging of marine environments. Throughout this history, the Coast Guard has continually adapted to the emergence of innovative technologies while leveraging new capabilities to ensure the safety, security, and stewardship of our Nation’s waters. Today’s rapidly evolving cyber domain presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities for our Service, as we help ensure our Nation’s security and prosperity in this new century. Cyber technology is inextricably linked with all aspects of Coast Guard mission performance. It simultaneously presents opportunities for greater efficiency and effectiveness in our operating environment, while fueling new threats and challenges. The Nation’s security and prosperity is critically reliant on a safe and secure maritime domain, where threats and risks to our Nation and oceans are effectively managed and maritime commerce continues to thrive. To ensure the Coast Guard meets our Nation’s most enduring maritime priorities, we must always ensure we meet our strategic priorities in the cyber domain.
I am pleased to introduce the U.S. Coast Guard’s Cyber Strategy to guide our efforts in the cyber domain. This strategy identifies three distinct strategic priorities that are critical to our overall mission success: Defending Cyberspace, Enabling Operations, and Protecting Infrastructure. It also details a number of cross-cutting enabling factors that will ensure our long-term success.
The Coast Guard must adapt to the ongoing and rapid advancements in cyber technology. In continuing our proud history of responding to the ever evolving maritime needs of the Nation, the Coast Guard will fully embrace cyberspace as an operating domain. To this end, we will work tirelessly to achieve our vision for operating in the cyber domain: "We will ensure the security of our cyberspace, maintain superiority over our adversaries, and safeguard our Nation’s critical maritime infrastructure."
