Webinar series - Delivering operational cyber-resilience: a critical ingredient for food sector organizations
Even before COVID-19, the food sector was integrating technology in production, increasing use of automation, robotics, AI and other technologies to drive productivity and improve efficiency. The criticality of these operationally focussed technologies accelerated as the market changed in response to the pandemic.
This has provided cybercriminals and hackers with increasing opportunity to impact the sector; creating significant fiscal risk and operational issues across the functionality of the entire C-Suite, ranging from not just the quality and safety of food, but operations within food and beverage businesses including manufacturing, production, transportation and marketing.
This four-part webinar series will provide an expert discussion on the challenges facing food and manufacturing companies in relation to cybersecurity, how different parts of food sector operations can be impacted by cyber attacks, and how to effectively identify and manage risk in this evolving landscape.
Webinar 1: Cybersecurity is a C-suite opportunity
The first session in our four-part webinar series will first provide an overview of how cybersecurity vulnerabilities, if left unaddressed, will impact the functional areas under the CEO, CFO, COO, CPO and CMO. In the following live events the focus will narrow to specific subjects including digital transformation, Industry 4.0 and the increasing migration of the direct-to-consumer model.

Webinar 3: Industry 4.0 in the food sector
Automation and digitalization are transforming all manufacturing industries and food and drink organizations are no exception. However, ‘smart factories’ increase the potential impact of a data breach impacting operational integrity. Join us to learn why and how adopting cyber best practice is as ‘smart’ as adopting the technologies themselves.

Webinar 4: Securing the data privacy challenges of the direct-to-consumer model
With consumers increasingly buying their food online, selling directly to end consumers (D2C) can increase market share and decrease the costs of working through retailers. However, it also increases the amount of personal and financial transaction data to collect and protect. Our fourth and final webinar will therefore provide an overview of the impacts of adoption and how to mitigate the risks
