Cybersecurity is Part of Food Safety Now: ProFood World

What makes a food plant a faster payday for an attacker than a bank? Kristin King, founder of AnzenSage and author of Securing What Feeds Us: Cybersecurity in Food and Agriculture, sits down with Editor-in-Chief Derek Teal to explain why food and beverage manufacturers get targeted, biological processes that can't be paused, and enormous pressure to restore uptime fast. She walks through what she actually looks for on a plant floor, why she calls IT/OT convergence a marketing ploy, how to keep legacy equipment running safely without ripping it out, and why the most effective investment a plant can make costs almost nothing.
