Keeping Israel's Largest
Cargo Port Running
Ashdod Port Company
Israel's largest seaport by cargo volume, handling millions of tons of cargo annually. The port relies on continuous operation of its cranes, automated gates, and critical OT infrastructure to keep national and international supply chains moving. Even brief disruptions can delay vessel turnaround and significantly impact operations.
The Challenge
Ensuring continuous cargo handling and maritime operations
against systemic failures and cyber threats.
Vulnerable OT Infrastructure
Ashdod Port's operations depend on mission-critical ABB HMI workstations and Siemens SIMOCRANE control systems. Any cyberattack, hardware failure, or software corruption can disrupt cargo handling and vessel turnaround. Traditional backup solutions could not deliver the recovery speed needed for uninterrupted operations.
The Solution
Salvador deployed its OT Backup & Rapid Recovery Platform across the port's cranes, automated gates, and critical OT infrastructure.
Delivering automated image-based backups, integrity validation, centralized management, and rapid OT system recovery.
Following a successful three-day PoC, Ashdod Port deployed the platform across 60+ port cranes, automated gates, and critical OT infrastructure.
Business Results
Recovery in minutes instead of days
Verified, automated backups with continuous integrity checks
Centralized visibility of recovery readiness via a unified management console
Robust cyber resilience against ransomware and operational failures
Supports alignment with relevant maritime cyber resilience guidelines, including the backup, recovery, and restoration capabilities defined in IACS UR E26 and E27.
”Every moment of downtime in the maritime world is tremendously critical. Salvador's backup and recovery platform provides an easy and frequent backup solution, saving us time, trouble, and massive costs.
