Cargo Cranes and Cybersecurity: A Growing Concern for U.S. Infrastructure Recent reports have revealed that Chinese-manufactured cargo cranes, which handle the majority of U.S. port traffic, may pose a cybersecurity threat. A congressional investigation found modems installed in these cranes by ZPMC that could potentially allow for nation-state spying or even sabotage. As the U.S. continues to navigate the growing complexities of global trade and national security, it's crucial that we stay ahead of potential risks to our critical infrastructure. 💡 What’s at Stake? • Potential cyber vulnerabilities in cargo cranes handling U.S. port traffic. • Fears of disruption in case of international conflict, such as a potential invasion of Taiwan. • Ongoing discussions on how to secure U.S. ports and build a more resilient infrastructure. At Almond Consulting, we’re committed to helping businesses and governments safeguard their systems and data. Learn how we can help you navigate the latest cybersecurity challenges in critical infrastructure. 📽️ Watch our latest video on YouTube/@almondconsulting and stay informed about cybersecurity risks in global trade. #Cybersecurity #NationalSecurity #InfrastructureProtection #AlmondConsulting #PortSecurity #SupplyChain
