Cybersecurity and industrial IoT for the food and agrifood industry
We protect production facilities, cold chain monitoring systems, and batch traceability, while helping ensure compliance with the NIS2 Directive
No cyberattack should bring your production facilities to a standstill or spoil your raw materials.
We secure your food traceability systems and strengthen OT resilience
Prevent ransomware from shutting down your packaging lines or tampering with temperature sensors in your refrigerated warehouses. We secure the connections between your corporate network and plant machinery to maintain production continuity and support compliance with food safety regulations.
The real risks threatening food industry production and safety
Packaging and processing line shutdowns (OT/SCADA systems)
Ransomware encryption of industrial control systems (PLCs/SCADA) can bring plant machinery to a halt, resulting in millions of dollars in losses from perishable raw materials and delayed orders.
IoT sensor tampering and cold chain disruptions
Malicious tampering with IoT devices that monitor temperature and humidity in refrigerated storage facilities or trucks can spoil entire product batches and trigger food safety alerts.
Loss of batch traceability and manufacturing formulas
The compromise or alteration of ingredient, formulation, and labeling databases prevents companies from verifying product safety before distribution to major retailers and food service businesses.
Noncompliance with the NIS2 Directive and IFS/BRCGS standards
As a strategic sector responsible for essential supplies, undetected security breaches can lead to significant penalties and the suspension of international food quality and safety certifications.
ESED: specialized cybersecurity for food processing plants and the agrifood industry
Managed cybersecurity services at a flat monthly rate to protect your IT/OT environments, plant sensors, and logistics operations without disrupting production.
Penetration testing and audits in IT/OT environments
We identify security vulnerabilities in corporate networks, machinery controllers (PLCs), refrigeration IoT systems, and ERP/MES platforms without disrupting plant shifts.
Endpoint protection (XDR/MDR) and industrial anti-ransomware
Real-time, behavior-based detection to isolate cyber threats on packaging line terminals, central servers, and devices connected to the production network.
Immutable backups for formulations and traceability data
An isolated, offline backup strategy that enables the rapid recovery of production recipes, batch history records, and plant configurations in the event of an incident.
Zero Trust access control for industrial suppliers
Strict access management and multifactor authentication (MFA) for remote machinery maintenance connections, distributor integrations, and operator access.
FAQS SOBRE ABOUT CYBERSECURITY IN THE FOOD AND AGRIFOOD INDUSTRY
Why has the food industry become a key target for cybercriminals?
Because production facilities are becoming increasingly digitalized through IoT and Industry 4.0 technologies, while perishable products are highly sensitive to disruptions. Attackers know that any interruption to production or the cold chain can cause immediate product losses, increasing the impact of extortion attempts.
How does the NIS2 Directive require food production and distribution to be protected?
The NIS2 Directive includes food production, processing, and distribution among the sectors it covers. It requires risk management measures for supply chains, incident response plans for food processing facilities, and regular cybersecurity audits.
How does ESED help protect IoT devices and temperature sensors in refrigerated storage facilities?
We segment plant networks and provide continuous monitoring through Zero Trust and XDR/MDR solutions. This helps prevent malicious actors from taking control of temperature sensors or using the IoT network as an entry point into the corporate ERP system.
Can a cybersecurity audit shut down factory machinery?
No. Our audits in production and IT/OT environments are designed to be non-intrusive. We assess network architecture and the condition of IT infrastructure using passive, controlled methods, without disrupting packaging line speeds or ongoing operations.
What happens if a cyberattack compromises product recipe or batch databases?
Our immutable, redundant backup systems enable us to restore production formulas and traceability records quickly. This helps prevent the unnecessary disposal of product batches and maintain a continuous supply to supermarkets and other industries.
What are the benefits of flat-rate managed cybersecurity for an agrifood business?
Our service provides 24/7 technical monitoring of office and production facility networks for a fixed monthly fee. This allows your company to maintain its cybersecurity standards without unexpected expenses during peak production periods.
