Protecting Investments in Our Ports Act

This bill requires port applicants seeking federal infrastructure grants to address cybersecurity for digital projects. If an applicant uses grant funds for digital infrastructure or software, they must either certify they have an approved security plan or describe how they'll handle cybersecurity risks in their application. Applicants without an approved security plan must update their existing security plan within the next required update cycle to cover these new digital risks. The bill directly affects port authorities and entities applying for federal grants to acquire digital systems. It modifies the grant application process to mandate cybersecurity planning for digital investments.
