Port of Itajaí Enhances Digital Security and Updates Systems and Portals

The security of a port also encompasses its digital systems. To reinforce information protection and reduce risks that could compromise essential services, the Superintendence of the Port of Itajaí (SPI) has elevated the institution's cybersecurity level. This initiative, coordinated by the Information Technology Coordination (COINF), includes adjustments to the administrative network and the updating of the technology that supports the Port's systems and portals.

Ports are considered strategic infrastructures because they connect different stages of the logistics chain. Behind these activities, there are systems and information that need to be protected.

These measures are part of a preventive strategy, in a scenario of growing concern about the digital security of port structures and logistics companies.

On the administrative network, intended for internal users, the SPI increased the security level and updated the encryption method used.

SPI also updated the PHP version, the programming language used in the development and operation of its systems and portals, accessed by both internal and external users. The update follows security recommendations for the technology.

These actions complement a security assessment conducted by the SPI this year, a complete and structured diagnosis that evaluates the level of protection of the institution's systems, networks, processes, and infrastructure.

For the Superintendent of the Port of Itajaí, Artur Antunes Pereira, strengthening digital security requires anticipation and the involvement of the entire institution.

"We are preventively raising the security level of our systems to reduce risks and prevent invasions. In a structure like the Port of Itajaí, digital security is part of the protection of the services themselves," he states.

In addition to technological protection measures, the SPI is also reinforcing guidance to employees on safe behavior in the digital environment. The internal COINF campaign alerts to precautions such as avoiding suspicious links, not opening unexpected attachments, being wary of unusual messages, and never sharing passwords or access codes.

The Information Technology Coordinator, Rodrigo Perin, emphasizes that prevention goes beyond adopting tools and depends on continuous action.

"More than meeting technical requirements, our goal is to anticipate risks and reduce vulnerabilities. Digital security is built every day, with technology, procedures, and everyone's participation," he explains.
