Waterfall Security Solutions CEO Lior Frenkel said: “Cyber threats to critical infrastructure are constantly evolving. The need for powerful, secure solutions has never been more urgent. We’re happy to partner with GoCloud to bring our unidirectional technology to the Port of Miami.

“By combining our strengths, we’re not only securing this critical infrastructure, but also establishing a model for cybersecurity that can help organisations comply with recent standards and regulation.”

This move provides robust protection against external threats, even if those threat chains involve exploiting embedded elements within the cranes.

The initiative aims to set a new benchmark for security compliance in the US maritime sector.

By integrating Waterfall’s gateways with GoCloud’s IT and cybersecurity expertise, the partnership aims to deliver protection and operational reliability for critical infrastructure.
