Computers and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems ensure food and beverage manufacturing facilities can operate safely and efficiently. While cyber-attacks may only involve only these components and their operation, the impact can extend into the physical business and connected systems. Whether a cyber-attack is caused by an external threat actor or group, an internal staff member or inadequate policies and procedures, it can initiate a loss of system control, productivity and product damage.
First Watch’s cybersecurity solutions for food manufacturing facilities address three key areas – people, process, and technology – assessing existing organisational vulnerabilities, providing complete visibility of all hardware and software assets on the network and ongoing monitoring and active protection to promote safety, environmental responsibility, and efficient operations.
