Strengthening Cybersecurity in the Food Industry

The FBI recommends food businesses implement comprehensive cybersecurity frameworks to manage and mitigate cyber risks effectively.
Conducting regular security audits helps identify and address vulnerabilities, particularly in older industrial control systems.
Training employees to recognize phishing attempts and other common cyber threats is essential to reduce organizational vulnerabilities.
Best practices include using multi-factor authentication, encrypting sensitive data, regularly updating systems, and having a robust incident response plan.
These measures help protect the food supply chain, ensure operational continuity, and maintain consumer trust.
