Port of Los Angeles and IBM to create cyber resilience centre

The Los Angeles Board of Harbour Commissioners has approved an agreement with IBM to design and operate a Port Cyber Resilience Centre (CRC) at the Port of Los Angeles, in an effort to improve cyber security.

Focused on detecting and protecting against malicious cyber incidents potentially impacting cargo flow, this system is also expected to improve the quality, quantity and speed of cyber information sharing within the port community.

Gene Seroka, port executive director, said: “As our port increasingly relies on data integration to guide its cargo operations and processes, detection and protection against cyber incidents is critical.
