This study identifies the threats that affect the cyber security of the maritime critical infrastructure in Colombia. Specifically, four Colombian ports were analyzed. Based on a descriptive and qualitative analysis, the operational and security resources of this sample were compared with the guidelines and recommendations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) contained in Circular 3 of 5 July 2017. The diagnosis shows negative results in terms of the current preparation of ports for possible cyber threats. It is proposed to adopt the IMO recommendations in harmony with the five strategic lines indicated by the Joint Cyber Command of the Colombian Military Forces (2017), and in compliance with the measures that regulate the navigation of ships in innocent passage through the Colombian territorial sea.
