Port of Long Beach hit by DDoS attack

Summary:

In 2013, the port of Long Beach got hit by a DDoS attack. Very little is known about this incident. However, in response of this attack, the facility is developing the virtual port system, a computer network that integrates secure data from federal agencies and private terminal operators. It has also banned commercial internet traffic from its network; invested nearly $1m in commercial applications to monitor network activity, intrusions and firewalls; mapped its networked systems and access points; designated controlled access areas for its servers and backed up and replicated key data off-site.
