On 10 November 2026 the group opened Port Cyber Alliance, a cyber alliance for ports, terminals and the companies that plug into them. This note says what it is, why DMS Logistics started it, and what happens there this week.
Why a logistics group starts a cyber alliance
Our teams integrate terminal operating systems, truck appointment systems and gate equipment in working ports. Every integration shows the same thing: the weak points are in the seams between systems, and a port rarely learns from the incident of the port next door. The alliance exists to share what each member sees, anonymised, and to give small and large ports the same engineering advice.
What is open today
- Two free two-minute self-assessments: one for engineers, one for directors and team leads.
- Free membership with ten hours of advice from a port cyber engineer, in one-hour video calls; the member account opens as soon as the form is submitted.
- A monthly port threat report and open source packages for terminal integration and detection.
- A free on-site visit request: the member sends the invitation and covers the travel, our days on site are not invoiced during the launch period.
This week on portcyberalliance.org
One article a day, written for people who run ports:
- Wed 11 Nov · AI agents in a terminal: what they may do, and what stays human
- Thu 12 Nov · A breach you learn about from the press: why centralised logs matter
- Fri 13 Nov · Terminal operators: the five systems an attacker goes for first
- Sat 14 Nov · Maritime cyber toolkit: what is in the box
- Sun 15 Nov · Port SIEM rules and cyber governance: rules you can read before you run them
- Mon 16 Nov · NIS2 for ports: essential or important entity, and why the answer sets everything else
- Tue 17 Nov · Monday: know what is exposed, inventory a terminal’s internet-facing assets
What it changes for DMS clients
Nothing in your contracts, and one more door: a terminal or a carrier that works with us can join the alliance, run the two tests with its team, and use the ten hours on the questions it never had time to ask. The same engineers answer on both sides.
