ILTA has highlighted cybersecurity for its members during the past few years, and that work should aid the terminal industry in bolstering cybersecurity defenses and help ILTA in advocating on behalf of the industry with regulators and Congress as moves to increase mandatory regulations increase.
In just the past year, ILTA hosted a cybersecurity expert for its Board of Directors, conducted a cybersecurity webinar for its terminal members in March, held a panel at its 2019 conference, and organized ongoing sessions at its quarterly Environmental, Health, Safety and Security meetings. In addition, cybersecurity remains a focus of the ILTA Security Committee.
These efforts are a down payment on what is likely to become an increasingly important issue for the terminal industry.
