Ports and Terminals Cybersecurity

Ports and Terminals Cyber Security

Defend Your Critical Assets and Operations

Cyber attacks are accelerating in frequency, variety and severity, making cybersecurity a business imperative for ports and terminals. The convergence of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) systems has pushed cyber risk management to the forefront of safety, security and operations.

SWOT24™, OT Cybersecurity by ABS Group, can help maritime facilities meet the latest international guidance and standards for cyber risk management. We'll help facility owners and operators understand how to apply risk-based controls and establish a resilient cybersecurity program within any maritime port or terminal. Our team of experienced cybersecurity engineers and regulatory advisors are qualified to assist you on the path to compliance.

Cyber Risk Management for MTSA-Regulated Facilities

A trusted ally to government agencies, SWOT24 offers a range of cybersecurity services to help maritime facilities throughout the nation implement a comprehensive cyber risk management program.

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) makes clear in Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-20 that facilities need to conduct effective cybersecurity assessments in order to meet existing MTSA-regulated facilities guidelines and regulations. That means facilities like yours are expected to address cyber risk in their existing facility security plan. ABS Group's cybersecurity team has deep domain expertise working with the Coast Guard and in emergency management and facility security. Learn more about our services for MTSA-regulated facilities.
