The Project

MÉTIS project is committed to improve the infrastructures and ICT systems of two main port authorities in Portugal – APS and APDL – through a holistic approach

Cyber-security awareness to internal and external operators
New robust Response Plan
Promotion of cyber-attacks simulations
Exercises and perform audits

Reaching The target levels

Reaching three target levels

LOCAL

Increase the project promoter’s infrastructure cybersecurity maturity level

NATIONAL

Reinforce the national LSW protection operation and scalability through Port Community and Logistic Chain

EUROPEAN

Increment ICT systems resilience of the EU Maritime sector through European cooperation

There is an increased need to ensure the ICT robustness among the maritime port systems and services through improvements to the Logistic Single Window Cybersecurity System. Find how MÉTIS will address the LSW needs.

STAGES

Evaluation

Analysis of the consortium’s current situation in the Cybersecurity domain

Specific Objective: To implement an initial full risk assessment of the LSW infrastructure and Application

Awareness and Training

Establishing awareness and training initiatives and disseminating the project’s results to other external players

Specific Objective: To promote a knowledge transfer program for APS and APDL teams and other interested parties, providing the needed tools and capabilities for a more robust cybersecurity strategy

Implementation

Design of Response Plans and implementation of new measures aiming at increasing the cyber-security maturity level

Specific Objective: To characterize the LSW cybersecurity maturity level through an analysis and evaluation of the different risks identified, to obtain the re-certification accordingly to ISO 27001 and to develop a robust Response Plan for the prevention and mitigation of cyber- incident

Response and monitoring

Definition of key performance indicators to ensure regular monitoring and that the outcomes will subsist beyond the project’s lifetime

Specific Objective: To monitor and promote the Project’s results, provoking a spill-over effect among national entities, and fostering European cooperation

AMBITION

MÉTIS Work Plan is oriented to train and qualify people and ICT systems and networks and to define an approach for practical scenarios for the assessment of ICT vulnerabilities

Robustness of two of the main national Ports’ ICT infrastructures, in order to create preventive, detection, and response measures to minimize the effect of eventual cyber-incidents. In compliance, the foreseen actions will limit the economic and societal damage provoked by cyber-incidents.

The objective is to widely disseminate its results, promote knowledge transfer, and integrate international cooperation networks in cybersecurity matters. It aims at provoking the transposition of cybersecurity measures and procedures to other national ports that use LSW.
