This webinar is organised by the IFST Executive Team
Following the recent high-profile attacks on supermarket refrigerators and freezers around Europe, there is growing concern about the threat of cyber attacks on food manufacturers. We are fortunate to have secured a speaker from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), part of GCHQ, to discuss the issue and what food businesses can do to protect themselves. Given the nature of our speaker’s work, we are unable to provide a full name, photograph or biography. We hope you will join us for what should be a fascinating and timely webinar.
What participants will learn:
- The current cyber threat to the food sector, including recent attacks on refrigeration and cold chain systems
- How attacks on manufacturing and operational systems typically happen
- Practical steps to reduce your organisation’s risk and respond to an incident
Target audience:
- Food manufacturing technical professionals and senior managers responsible for food safety and business continuity
