U.S. ports and the maritime industry are top global targets for cyberattacks. Half of these attacks are aimed at small businesses with the global average cost of a data breach reaching an all-time high of $4.45 million according to IBM. To combat these threats, federal agencies work together to mitigate the risks and protect this critical infrastructure and economic driver.
Please join us for an executive-level briefing on cybersecurity, specifically tailored to San Diego’s maritime industry and Port tenants with cyber leaders from the FBI, NAVWAR, U.S. Coast Guard, Port of San Diego and more.
- Domain threats that might impact your business and resources available to help protect against those threats.
- Counterintelligence threats including specific areas currently targeted by nation states and details regarding their resources, methods and tactics.
- Insights from industry operators about best practices and mitigation strategies from the trenches.

With the increasing prevalence of bad actors in the ocean space, maritime domain awareness in ports, harbors and waterways has become a crucial issue. And with these bad actors often hiding in plain sight, the rapid advancement of maritime domain awareness and autonomous vessels technologies is imperative.
This is an exclusive intel gathering session that will feature representatives from defense agencies around the US. General assembly participants will gain invaluable insights into the critical maritime defense-related needs in an age of evolving threats. Participants will also get to explore the latest advancements in maritime domain awareness and autonomy as we tackle the challenges of securing our ports, harbors, and waterways.
- What are the threats at the intrusion lines?
- What are the capabilities of sensors around ports, harbors, and waterways to sense intrusions?
- What are the capabilities of autonomous vehicles to monitor and/or intercept threats?
- Are individual ports, harbors, and waterways case-hardened?
- Can monitoring take place on a timely basis?
Exclusively for TMA BlueTech members, this closed-door session offers a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the insights gained during the General Assembly, allow for TMA members to collectively map out approaches and partnership potentials to address these needs, and open commercial opportunities that were unseen before this event. This will be a hybrid event.
