FAQs
Common questions about protecting food production operations from cyber threats and implementing effective OT security programs.

Food production facilities control essential supply chains and consumer products. Cyber attacks can disrupt operations, compromise food safety systems, or trigger costly product recalls. Ransomware groups specifically target manufacturing for operational disruption.

Key risks include ransomware targeting refrigeration and packaging systems, attacks on quality control databases, compromise of traceability systems, and threats to food safety monitoring equipment that could trigger recalls.

Attacks on temperature monitoring, quality control systems, or traceability databases could compromise food safety protocols, potentially leading to contaminated products, regulatory violations, and consumer health risks.

Food production OT systems prioritize availability and safety over security. They use specialized protocols, require continuous operation, and directly control physical processes affecting product quality and safety.

Begin with asset discovery to understand your OT environment, implement network segmentation, establish secure remote access, deploy OT-specific monitoring, and develop incident response plans for production environments.

Don’t let cyber threats compromise your production quality or food safety. Our industrial cybersecurity experts are ready to help strengthen your defenses and protect critical food production infrastructure.
