Read the following passage carefully:
Under the 2026 Maritime Port Cyber-Resilience Framework, all commercial seaport terminals operating automated container cranes must maintain isolated offline backup control systems to protect critical infrastructure against operational disruption. Terminals that integrate third-party logistics tracking software with their primary operational technology networks are required to undergo quarterly vulnerability audits conducted by certified independent cybersecurity auditors. If a terminal fails to submit two consecutive quarterly audit reports, the maritime safety authority automatically suspends its official authorization to process international cargo shipments. However, terminals operating entirely on proprietary, closed-loop software architectures without any external network interconnections are exempt from these mandatory quarterly vulnerability audits, provided they submit annual self-assessment compliance declarations. Furthermore, any terminal that experiences a verified cyber breach must notify the safety authority within twenty-four hours, regardless of whether it operates on an interconnected network or a closed-loop system.
Based on the passage above, which of the following statements must logically be true?
- A commercial seaport terminal operating automated container cranes on a proprietary, closed-loop system without external network interconnections is not mandated to undergo quarterly vulnerability audits if it submits an annual self-assessment compliance declaration.Cevap
- BSeaport terminals whose authorization to process international cargo shipments is suspended will inevitably face severe financial bankruptcy within six months.
- CThe maritime safety authority operates on the assumption that all third-party logistics software vendors intentionally design malicious code to compromise port networks.
- DQuarterly vulnerability audits by independent certified auditors constitute the sole effective methodology for completely preventing cyber breaches in maritime operations.
