While speaking about terminal cybersecurity, Smith said: “One of the first things that they should do is they should look at the security of their land infrastructure.
“A lot of times they overlook the physical security aspects of the system, and you can go into a building if you can gain access and plug an Ethernet jack and have access to all of the infrastructure from inside the building.”
