02 / THE PROBLEM

The gap between food safety protocols and digital security

Cyberattacks on food companies don't just steal data. They stop production.

What Unprotected Systems Reveal

Manufacturing systems like SCADA and ICS are connected to networks but rarely secured against modern threats
Supply chain digitization creates entry points that attackers exploit to disrupt logistics and distribution
Food safety teams and IT teams operate in silos, leaving critical control points unmonitored
Incident response plans address contamination and recalls but ignore ransomware and data breaches

What You'll Walk Away With

A framework for identifying cyber vulnerabilities across production, agriculture, and distribution
Techniques for aligning cybersecurity measures with existing food safety protocols like HACCP
Skills to assess third-party vendor risks and secure your supply chain end-to-end
Methods for building incident response plans that address both digital and physical threats
