A new site can look like a brochure. This one is meant to be used. Here is what works today on portcyberalliance.org, how to get to it, and what each thing gives you back.
1. The engineer self-assessment
Where: /engineer-cyber-self-assessment/. Time: about two minutes. How: twelve questions on access, network, detection and recovery, answered honestly, no account needed. What you get: a score out of 100, the three weakest areas named, and a PDF you can keep or send to yourself. Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose to send it.
2. The team assessment, for directors
Where: /team-cyber-assessment/. How: twelve questions about people, visibility, exercises and the supply chain. It is written for the person who signs the budget, not the one who patches the servers. What you get: the same kind of score and PDF, and a useful conversation when you put it next to your engineer’s result.
3. Membership and the 10 advisory hours
Where: /become-a-member/. How: five steps, your organization, you, your decision-maker, your membership, review. What you get: a member area that opens at once, 10 hours of engineering advice, and a first call planned within two working days. Membership is free during the launch; the hours are real hours with a real engineer.
4. The monthly threat report
Where: /threat-report/. How: leave your work e-mail. What you get: once a month, the port-relevant attacks, the vulnerabilities in terminal systems, anonymised cases from members, and indicators of compromise in a format your tools can read. Read our open detection rule for remote access to a TOS to see the kind of thing it contains.
5. Open source packages
Where: /open-source-packages/. How: two packages are public on GitHub (a maritime cyber toolkit and a truck appointment API); six are sent on request from the same page; seven are announced and you can ask to be told when they ship. What you get: code that has run in real terminals, with the integration seams documented. If you are an engineer who prefers reading code to reading brochures, start here.
6. The shop, for later
Where: /shop/. Today it holds the free « Come to us » request for an on-site visit and hour packs for members who have used their 10 hours. Paid items are being connected to card payment this week; the free request already works.
In which order
If you have five minutes: run the engineer test. If you have fifteen: run both tests and join. If you have an hour: join, then book the first call and bring your two PDFs. Everything else follows from that call.
Everything above is maintained by the engineers of DMS Logistics, the group behind the alliance.
