British port deploys AI system to keep attackers at bay Computing

One of Britain's largest network of ports has implemented an artificial intelligence system in a bid to defend its systems from growing cyber threats. Harwich Haven Authority, a trust port based in Essex, has installed Darktrace's Industrial Immune System to identify and respond to potential cyber attacks. A major infrastructure provider in the UK, the Authority handles many of the world's largest container ships and delivers shipping services across five commercial ports. These include the Ports of Felixstowe, Ipswich, Navyard, Mistley and Harwich International, all of which are seen as a gateway for European and global trade. The decision by the port to invest in an AI cyber security solution comes as hackers and nation states continue to target UK critical infrastructure.
