Take the Food Safety & Security Test Start Self Assessment
Food & Beverage production requires protection!
Because of their limited ability to assess food safety consumers put their trust in brands and regulatory practices. The responsibility for a high-quality and safe product rests with the manufacturer.
To meet increasing regulatory requirements, food and beverage manufacturers are increasingly relying on automation equipment and its monitoring by industrial control systems (ICS). But do they also keep an eye on the risks? With version control and change management that meets the legal requirements and with an end-to-end cybersecurity concept, automated food & beverage production can be protected against dangers in the production and factory environment.
Defense in Depth (IEC 62443)
In 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) added ISA / IEC 62443 Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS) to help food and beverage manufacturers better protect themselves from cyber attacks. The standards follow the "Defense in Depth" approach. "Defense in depth" can be thought of like a castle: Different lines and defense, usually arranged from the outside in, protect against intruders and other threats. In each zone, a target level of protection is set. This reduces the complexity of a risk analysis for the entire facility. Then, organizations can evaluate the functions of each zone and the channels between zones easily. By combining the assessment of the functional and organizational measures in a two-dimensional matrix, a protection level can be assigned to each field.
