Technology plays a key role in food
production throughout the supply chain.
Over the last decade or so, the industry
has benefitted from precision agriculture
technology offering the ability to address
variations within the field, determine
differences in soil types, assist with the
application of fertilizer and improve
methods of irrigation. Technology
offered in the form of
blockchain, a list of records
linked together using
cryptography, offers food
manufacturers end-toend
product traceability.
This level of digital
predictability is helping suppliers and
manufacturers improve transparency,
speed up fact-finding investigations in the
case of contaminated products, and offer
insights regarding the conditions and path
a product travels throughout the supply
chain. Tech applications are also enabling
new ways to maximize shelf life and reduce
spoilage losses, and on the manufacturing
floor, robotics automate processes and
alleviate an ongoing skills gap.
As the use of technology
grows within the food
industry, so does the data
generated by each of
these applications. This
mass of information
becomes exponentially
* Make it your corporate culture: everyone is responsible for security.
* Identify and inventory your data assets: then you can protect them.
* Know that this risk landscape is evolving: it's a marathon not a sprint!
* Be a target that is hard enough to get into that attackers move on.
* Encourage a layered and team approach to accomplishing this goal.
