Did you know that the food manufacturing industry is one of the top most cyber attacked industries globally? In fact, the food and agriculture industry faced over 160 cyberattacks in 2023, causing supply chain disruptions worldwide.
Because the food manufacturing industry is just beginning to be digitized, and many companies are using legacy IT tools to manage their operations, there is room for cybercriminals to find a way in. But as our industry updates its technology, cybersecurity needs to be a priority to minimize vulnerabilities and avoid far-reaching consequences such as food safety risks, disruptions to global supply chains, tampering with testing and food quality data, the potential to have counterfeit product introduced into the supply chain, and more.
Join CFBN* and Fifth Third Bank for this important conversation along with a panel of top experts on March 27th. Together, we will discuss strategies for preventing “the scariest thing to happen to your business.”
