What Maritime Transportation System Information Sharing & Analysis Center does
Mission
The corporation promotes and facillitates maritime cybersecurity information sharing, awareness, training and collaboration efforts between private and public sector members to effectively improve cyber risk management across the entire mts community through improved prevention, detection, response and recovery efforts.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The mts-isac provided maritime cyber threat information to personnel in over 180 organizations, with information sometimes going to dozens of individuals within an organization. These organizations included private industry critical infrastructure stakeholders as well as federal agency organizations (which provided no resources or funding to the mts-isac in 2025). The information provided to these organizations was timely and included in whole or in part (depending on their participation with the mts-isac) access to: 98 cybersecurity advisories, 844 indicator bulletins, more than 12 webinars, and multiple open calls to discuss cybersecurity. This work was accomplished as the mts-isac responded to over 110 requests for information and analyzed 1,762 threat information shares (with one share sometimes containing dozens of attachments and hundreds of data points needing review). The outcomes of this work provided the following results to maritime critical infrastructure stakeholders: early warning of cyber threat activity, including phishing, credential stuffing, scanning, vulnerability exploitations, and other attack behaviors; and cybersecurity best practices that could be applied…
The mts-isac organized the annual maritime cybersecurity summit. The summit consisted of two days of keynotes, discussions, and presentations on both technical and non-technical maritime cybersecurity challenges and a third day dedicated to maritime cybersecurity practitioner training. With over 160 registrants from over 70 organizations, the summit brought together public and private sector stakeholders for these important discussions. In addition to discussing the challenges, information was presented on best practices, updated cybersecurity strategies, use cases, and lessons learned. The summit resulted in greater understanding of how to approach cybersecurity challenges in the maritime sector and helped attendees create new peer relationships that previously did not exist. The summit directly supports the mts-isac's mission of improving cyber resiliency of the maritime sector.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $236k to $51k (−78%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
