Food safety programs increasingly rely on connected systems—ERP/MES platforms, laboratory information systems, supplier portals, remote monitoring sensors, and cloud-based documentation. That digital dependence creates a new risk pathway: cyber incidents that disrupt operations, compromise data integrity, or alter critical food safety controls. In this session, participants will learn how to integrate cybersecurity considerations into food safety risk assessments in a practical, audit-ready way—without turning their food safety team into an IT department. The presentation introduces a simple, repeatable framework that links cyber threats to food safety hazards (e.g., loss of monitoring, tampered records, compromised specifications, disrupted traceability, fraudulent COAs, ransomware-driven downtime). Attendees will leave with tools to prioritize risks, define controls, assign ownership across QA/FS/IT, and document the results so they stand up to internal reviews, customer expectations, and regulatory scrutiny.
