FAQ

Cheese production involves sensitive recipes, fermentation control, automated machinery, and strict temperature regulation. These digital dependencies create a growing list of cyber risks:
Shutting down pasteurizers, culture management systems, or packaging lines
Emails targeting food technologists, QA analysts, or maintenance teams
Targeting SCADA systems regulating humidity, temperature, and aging conditions
Of proprietary cheese formulations, aging techniques, or lab analytics
Platforms used for inventory, supplier management, or product traceability
On automated labeling, allergen tracking, or cold chain systems
Networks enabling attackers to jump from office IT to plant floor OT
