KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLORIDA, US, June 16, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Maritime & Port Security ISAO (MPS-ISAO), the Information Sharing & Analysis Center (ISAC) for the global Maritime Critical Infrastructure since 2016, announced today a strategic partnership with NetFoundry™, the leader in providing networking solutions purposely-built to meet requirements for agility, cost effectiveness, performance and security. This partnership helps support Maritime and Port owners and operators to operationalize a "Zero Trust" model for improving network security and access by the growing number of connected devices.
Cyber and physical systems and technologies are essential to the operation and efficient functioning of Maritime and Port operations. Cyberattacks and vulnerable exploits can have catastrophic cascading impacts to operations from IIOT, ICS, GPS-based and e-navigation systems, monitoring and control of safety and environment systems, security cameras, gates, tracking and controlling container cargo movements, vessel operations, and business administration.
Global security and prosperity depend upon a safe, secure and resilient Maritime transportation critical infrastructure supported by threat and defensive measures intelligence analysis, information sharing and coordinated response operationalized by the MPS-ISAO and the adoption of best practices and technologies, such as NetFoundry™, to secure access to Maritime and Port physical and cyber assets.
To enable protection of the global Maritime & Port security resilience ecosystem, the MPS-ISAO and NetFoundry™ are committed to providing owners and operators with access to proven, agile and secure technology protecting connections to enterprise networks and applications – ZERO TRUST.
