The Future of Cargo Inspection and Data Sharing
This presentation explains how fast, secure trade is made possible through data sharing technologies including S2 Global’s CertScan, which could lead to a potential “green lane” for containers passing through customs at the Port of Gulfport.
Challenges and Future Contingency Plans for a Secure Port
Investing in the Ports of the Future
This presentation provides an overview of the facilities and structure of the Port of Gulfport and then dives into areas of security concern.
Tech Talk: Threat Mitigation Initiatives
This presentation provides an overview of 911 Security’s AirGuard airspace security platform. Any facility with traditional ground security currently has vulnerability from airspace, and can result in contraband delivery, intellectual property theft, spying, and more. AirGuard is FCC and FAA compliant and detects drones penetrating your airspace, identifies the drone, tracks the drone, and responds.
Tech Talk: Cyber Security: Threats and Prevention
Ports are a prime target for cyber crime attacks. This presentation speaks specifically about maritime cyber attacks, which have increased 900% over the past three years. Learn more about prevention of attacks and detection of vulnerabilities.
Introduction to the Committee and Thoughts on Port Security
Presenter
Dan Turissini, Chair, Maritime Cyber Security and Infrastructure Committee
Educare of Northern Virginia, Inc
A single cybersecurity breach can cause huge consequences over an entire system. Smart ships, ports, cities, and enterprises need to take a new systems-based defensive approach that eliminated human weaknesses and not pretend that cyber security problems can be solved with a simple overlay or a new security monitoring and training. The MTS Maritime Cyber Security and Infrastructure Committee will be the central resource for members of the Marine Technology Society to go for the latest information, advice, and best practices.

Radiance Technologies is an employee-owned R&D company performing technical intelligence, developing advanced technologies, and providing engineering services. This presentation covers their work in port resiliency, including how it can be improved by implementing a hardware-in-the-loop testbed, RF-equipped unmanned systems, and automated data analysis and reporting.
Port Digitalization: Securely Handling Cargo and Its Data
Port digitalization is using automation and innovative technologies such as AI, Big Data, Internet of Things, and blockchain to improve its performance. Every cargo transfer requires information to be exchanged with up to 200 different entities including shipping agencies, ocean carriers, customs, and ports. Port digitalization requires an aggressive cyber security framework and is a valuable investment for ports across a wide spectrum of sizes and cargoes.
