The Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) is initiating a Cybersecurity Workshop with Dematic Corporation to upgrade its Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) in compliance with Department of Army (DA) Cybersecurity requirements. The current ASRS IT infrastructure is outdated, at risk of failure, and not compliant with security protocols, potentially leading to its removal from the network. The workshop aims to assess Cybersecurity gaps, evaluate operational processes, and identify necessary upgrades to ensure compliance and functionality.
This two-part workshop will comprise three days on-site at ANAD, followed by a remote session to finalize the system scope and improvements. Dematic, the original equipment manufacturer, requires compensation for its team’s involvement and will supply Cybersecurity specifications for the system upgrade. The government will provide necessary personnel and access to existing ASRS documentation. This initiative is part of ANAD’s broader Capital Improvement Plan, emphasizing the need for adherence to evolving cybersecurity standards within military operations, underscoring the importance of systematic planning in response to identified risks.
