Why is IT protection so important for companies in the food sector?

Food is the basis of our lives, which makes it an extremely vulnerable sector. It is therefore important to raise awareness that disruptions or a collapse of the supply sector could have a significant impact on the population. This consists of all food supply facilities, whether food production, processing or trade. As many systems and facilities now run with digital data and entire processes in the sector have been digitized, it is necessary to provide special protection for the corresponding IT infrastructures of companies in the food industry. This already applies to production and extends to the handling, processing, control and monitoring, ordering, placing on the market and distribution of food.

Food sector as critical infrastructure (KRITIS)

Due to its function for society, the food sector is a critical infrastructure (CRITIS). Public services of general interest largely involve ensuring that the population has an adequate supply of food. Food production and trade are heavily dependent on smoothly functioning logistics chains. There are significant interdependencies between the food sector and other critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, water, transportation and traffic, information and communication technology as well as finance and insurance, to name just a few examples. These IT infrastructures are therefore particularly worthy of protection and must be designed to be fail-safe and are even subject to special technological and regulatory framework conditions from the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI).
