Why ports need continuous detection

Ports have become a target, the law now requires fast detection and notification (see what NIS2 asks of ports), and most sites have neither the team nor the budget of a security operations centre.

Ports are targeted
Destructive malware in 2017, ransomware at a major Asian port in 2023, an intrusion at a terminal operator the same year: each time, business IT stopped port operations.
Nobody reads the logs
Every machine produces logs, but no rule reads them continuously. Several suppliers each see their own piece; nobody sees the whole.
The 24-hour countdown
Article 23 of NIS2 requires an early warning within 24 hours. Without detection, the clock runs and nobody knows it. Deadlines from the directive, to be confirmed against its transposition in your country.
Fragile OT
An active scan can stop a PLC. Cranes, gantries and automation are monitored passively, without ever touching them.

One SIEM, three sizes: from marina to terminal

The same open-source platform and the same port rules, sized for each site. Each customer has its own SIEM and its own keys. The Wazuh rules and decoders we write are listed with our open-source packages.

Hybrid: agents on site, SIEM in your cloud

Two kinds of agents, one clear rule

A Wazuh agent on every machine
Log collection, file integrity, inventory, vulnerabilities and configuration on every server and workstation. Never installed on a PLC.
AI triage agent
Reads every alert, adds context, sets aside known false positives. It never closes a critical alert on its own.
AI investigator
Links the events of one attack and proposes a timeline. It never connects to your machines.
NIS2 drafter
Prepares the 24-hour early warning, the 72-hour notification and the final report. Your security officer sends them.
Compliance auditor
Compares the configuration with NIS2 Article 21 and ISO 27001, to prove what is covered.
The human decides
Every blocking action is proposed, never executed alone. Everything that touches OT is observed, never controlled.

Finalists assessed in detail

Container terminals: TOS, gate, OCR, carrier portal and truck appointments are monitored by rules written by a team that builds terminal software.

— Terminals · 20 to 200 machines

Port authorities and logistics: port community systems, harbour master's office, EDI with carriers and customs, shared accounts and supplier access.

— Authorities and logistics · 5 to 500 machines

Marinas: harbour office software, online payment and boaters' Wi-Fi, for sites without an IT person.

— Marinas · 3 to 15 machines

Live in 90 days

From scoping to a timed incident exercise, in four steps.

1. Scoping
Days 0 to 15: machine inventory, scope, one contact per supplier, a named security officer.
2. Deployment
Days 15 to 30: the SIEM in a European cloud or on your site, agents on the IT machines.
3. Tuning
Days 30 to 60: port rules switched on, false positives removed with your team.
4. Proof
Days 60 to 90: a timed incident exercise, then the review and go-live.

Port SIEM FAQ

Questions about a SIEM for your marina, your terminal or your port authority? We are here to help.

Yes. The Wazuh agent and manager are under GPLv2, the indexer under Apache 2.0, the rules engine under AGPLv3. You run it in your own name, in a European cloud or on your own site.

No. They read the SIEM through a read-only API, then triage, link and draft. Every blocking action is proposed to a human, never executed alone.

Never. OT is monitored by a passive network sensor on a mirror port. It listens and sends nothing. No agent is installed on any automation.

In your own SIEM, with your own keys: a dedicated instance in a European cloud, your site behind your VPN, or a mix of both. Your logs never mix with another customer's.

Yes. A marina often has open Wi-Fi, online payments and no IT person. The Escale offer brings a few agents, the baseline rules and a monthly report the harbour master can read.

It detects, keeps the incident timeline and drafts the 24-hour, 72-hour and one-month reports. It helps prove the Article 21 measures; it replaces neither your security policy nor your risk analysis.
