Port cybersecurity: central to innovation

By its very nature, a commercial port is an open site that needs to facilitate good and traffic flows. The generalised interconnection of systems and technologies exposes port actors to constantly worsening threats. That is why HAROPA PORT, as a major player in digitised port operations, has defined a robust cyber risk prevention strategy and is developing a range of projects to become a cybersecure port of the future.

CYMsPATI

HAROPA PORT is working on the creation of  the CYMsPATI platform (a French acronym denoting “port, maritime and industrial cybersecurity”), aiming to achieve stronger cybersecurity for the IT systems of logistics chain actors, thereby protecting data security.
Partners: Le Havre Seine Métropole urban district authority, UMEP, Synerzip-LH, Airbus, SOGET, ANSSI and the DGSI, the French government’s general directorate for internal security.
 

This project is also part of the programme Le Havre, ville portuaire intelligente.
