Don’t Get Caught Without a Cybersecurity Plan

Though you might think your operation isn’t one worth targeting, cyber attackers are just not that discerning about who they go after for profit.

In this space previously, I gave you a glimpse into my background, which includes more than 30 years of technology coverage, but only about a year and a half now within the food and beverage industry. In fact, my recent visit to the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta just reinforced that, with every bit of information I take in, it’s that much more obvious what I still have to learn.

One thing I do know something about, however, is the need for a solid, ever-adapting cybersecurity plan—no matter which industry you work in. At our sister publication Automation World, I covered primarily automation for such industries as oil and gas, water/wastewater, and power generation—all industries that are considered “critical infrastructure” and commonly operations where, if something goes wrong, things can go boom. For these industries, I regularly wrote about cybersecurity, the growing struggle against well-resourced bad actors, and the need to get defenses up to snuff.
