FAQ

As one of the fastest-growing segments in food production, the plant-based protein sector is an attractive target for cybercriminals. Complex production environments, intellectual property, and digital consumer platforms all introduce cyber risk:
Halting high-volume extrusion lines, drying systems, or fermentation controls
Targeting R&D teams, innovation labs, or digital marketing staff
Theft of proprietary formulations, ingredient blends, or product roadmaps
In IIoT sensors monitoring moisture, temperature, and processing timelines
Sensitive consumer data from direct-to-consumer (DTC) platforms
In logistics, inventory, and ingredient sourcing platforms
Risks from co-manufacturers, ingredient vendors, or e-commerce platforms
