Terminal automation

Ports and terminals

Cybersecurity for terminal automation and bulk liquid or LPG infrastructure, at sites with more external connections than a typical plant of the same size.

Typical systems in this sector

The control systems and infrastructure we work with

  • Terminal automation systems, and bulk liquid or LPG OT infrastructure
  • Zone mapping and boundary controls across the terminal
  • Direct connections between OT and the cargo, metering and logistics systems it reports to

Key risks in this sector

The services and solutions that address each one
  1. 01

    Frequent contractor access, which leads to unmanaged USB drives and removable media entering OT systems at several points across the terminal

  2. 02

    Terminal automation connected directly to cargo, metering and logistics IT systems, creating routes into OT

  3. 03

    Limited dedicated OT security staff, with responsibility falling to IT staff who are not familiar with terminal automation systems
