Challenge

The Costs and Risks of Legacy Networking

When food and beverage companies fall victim to cyberattacks, the downstream impacts are significant — operational disruptions, food shortages, and financial and reputational losses.

Widespread digital adoption by producers, manufacturers, and supply chain partners makes these companies particularly attractive cyber targets. Persistent threats — web skimming, ransomware, and IoT/IIoT vulnerabilities — mean every connected device, field worker, and subcontractor is a potential breach point.

In response, food and beverage companies are taking strategic steps to better secure their networks and devices. In many cases, companies find traditional network security approaches can’t adequately protect the modern supply chain.

Network Security Challenges for the Food and Beverage Industry

  • Securing communications from IoT devices, like smart sensors and equipment.

  • Ensuring secure communication between business partners and suppliers.

  • Protecting remote access to proprietary corporate data and a growing array of SaaS applications.

  • Managing traditional networking hardware that can be resource-intensive, complex, and costly.

  • Enabling remote access to 3rd-party field equipment teams.

  • Providing point-to-point connections while maintaining scalability and flexibility.
