The Netherlands gets a 3 for security

APM Terminals is by no means the only company in the Netherlands that has no computer security.

'It's not that APM is exceptional. With a 3 or a 4 as a grade, we should like the Netherlands, 'says director Dave Maasland.

The big companies that rely on technology, such as banks and the energy sector, usually have their business in order. Maasland: 'But the farther you go down, the more vulnerable companies are. Especially in transport and logistics and in lawyers and notaries, a lot of things have to happen. '

The recent Petya attack happened through an infected accounting program. 'A direct attack is a long process, it is much more logical to use a software provider. The big companies have hundreds of software packages. Small and medium-sized companies do not yet realize that they can be a springboard, 'said Maasland.
