Andy Lee, a partner in the Litigation Practice Group and co-leader of the privacy, data strategy, and artificial intelligence team, was quoted in The Waterways Journal article “Coast Guard Publishes New Cybersecurity Rule” published on March 7, 2025. In the article, Andy outlines the key requirements of the US Coast Guard’s finalized cybersecurity rule for the US-flagged vessels and facilities in the maritime transportation system, requiring owners to develop comprehensive cybersecurity plans and designate qualified “Cybersecurity Officers” to implement and oversee these plans. The regulation aims to strengthen the maritime sector against growing cyber threats while providing stakeholders with clear compliance guidelines for meeting upcoming implementation deadlines.
