OT Security in Ports: Lessons from the Coast Guard's Latest Warning

Jul 3, 2025 By Kirsten Doyle In Tripwire
The cranes that move goods in and out of America's busiest ports (some of the most essential components of our national logistics chain) are under growing scrutiny. In a newly issued MARSEC Directive 105-5, the U.S. Coast Guard has raised red flags about the cybersecurity risks that come with ship-to-shore (STS) cranes manufactured in China. These cranes, mostly produced by state-owned enterprises like Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), make up nearly 80% of the STS equipment at U.S. ports.

Keeping the Lights on: Cybersecurity Automation in Critical National Infrastructure

Jun 27, 2025 By Chris Jacob, VP, Global Field Operations In ThreatQuotient
Ask anyone who was scheduled to fly in or out of London Heathrow airport in the UK on March 20 and 21 2025, and they'll tell you that disruption to critical national infrastructure (CNI) is no joke.
