Beyond the Firewall: Where Cybersecurity Meets Food Security in Our Communities
In quiet server rooms across America, we are fighting an invisible war. As lines of code and encrypted data flow through our food systems, a new kind of vulnerability has emerged—one where a single breach can disrupt the journey from farm to table for millions.
The Overlooked Reality
While headlines focus on banking hacks and identity theft, the truth is that our most essential industry—food—remains dangerously underprotected in the digital realm. This isn't just about lost profits or inconvenient outages; it's about community resilience and our collective ability to feed ourselves in times of crisis.
The connections between cybersecurity and food security aren't merely technical—they're deeply human. When distribution systems fail, it's not abstract data that's lost, but school lunches that don't arrive, hospital meals that can't be prepared, and community food banks that can't serve those in need.
Complexity in a Changing World
Our global food landscape is transforming rapidly. Climate disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and technological revolution are reshaping how we grow, process, and distribute what we eat. Within this complexity, digital systems serve as both solution and potential point of failure.
Since our podcast conversation with cybersecurity expert Kristin Demoranville, we've witnessed this complexity intensify. Supply chains that were once separate now intersect. Systems designed for efficiency now require equal attention to resilience.
The Expert Bridging Critical Gaps
That's why we're bringing Kristin back for an executive briefing that addresses these urgent intersections:
Beyond the Firewall: Emerging Threats and Future Trends in Food Industry Cybersecurity
