OVERVIEW
REQUEST FOR ACCESS FORM BELOW
United States’ port infrastructure is facing an increased threat from adversaries capable of causing financial, economic, and interconnectivity disruptions. As these attacks increase, our capabilities to protect assets has decreased. A holistic, comprehensive approach to secure assets and harden the attack surface is needed to make US ports more resilient to adversarial threats.
Now offering Certificates of Completion for all our Webinars.
Enhancing cybersecurity is fundamental to reducing these threats at US ports. Major vulnerabilities for US port owners and operators include: accessing controls, sensors, security cameras, SCADA systems, and process monitors such as valve positions and tank levels. Also ship/shore interface machinery such as cranes, loading arms and manifolds pose cybersecurity risks which can compromise security and safety systems. Enabling a comprehensive solution requires a systematized process orchestration across vendor, asset, configuration, network, vulnerability, threat and patch management.
Recognizing these major threats US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created a $100 Million Grant program. The DHS, through its Port Security Grant Program (PSGP), enables the adoption of physical and cyber solutions to strengthen the nation’s critical port infrastructure against risks associated with potential terrorist attacks. DHS will fund 75% of an approved budget for each awarded contract. The deadline for applying for funds under this grant program is May 29, 2019.
In this webinar, Fortress Information Security and SecureXperts, two leading cybersecurity companies specialized in port infrastructure will discuss various physical and cyber security issues and solutions to harden cyber-physical security at ports. In addition, key elements that drive effective cyber security resulting from IT, OT, IoT, IIoT, IT and vendor risk will be discussed.
