Food Industry

Secure your production to prevent any form of contamination.
In the food industry, cybersecurity doesn’t just protect equipment. It safeguards product quality and consumer safety. In a sector where traceability, hygiene and regulatory compliance are paramount, the security of OT systems is a cornerstone of operational continuity and public trust.

An incident in a food OT network can:

affect the quality of the products

lead to costly recalls

Fortaress protects critical systems such as packaging lines, cold rooms, automated conveyors, and SCADA systems used in food processing plants.

Challenges.

1. Continuous production with high sensitivity to disruptions

Fortaress helps with :

  • Transparent deployment with no disruption: implemented gradually and invisibly, without impacting operations.
  • Virtual patching for OT: protects critical equipment without requiring reboots or software updates.
  • 24/7 monitoring (OT MDR): proactively detects anomalies to prevent issues before they cause downtime.

2. Compliance with food safety and traceability standards

Fortaress helps with :

  • OT network segmentation: isolates critical zones to prevent the spread of an attack or malfunction.
  • OT application control: blocks the execution of unauthorized software that could alter production parameters.
  • Integrated OT SIEM: complete event logging to ensure operational traceability.

        3. Heterogeneous and often outdated equipment

        Fortaress helps with :

        • Automatic discovery of OT assets: dynamic inventory of connected equipment, even the oldest ones.
        • Virtual OT patching: protects legacy systems without modifying them.
        • OT IPS: blocks real-time attacks, even on unpatched equipment.

                4. Protection against cyberattacks targeting the supply chain

                Fortaress helps with :

                • Access control enforcement: manages connections to the OT network based on strict rules.
                • Bidirectional IT/OT monitoring: detects data transfers or suspicious behavior between networks.
                • Unknown device detection: triggers an immediate alert when an unauthorized connection occurs.

                          5. Compliance with industrial standards

                          Fortaress helps with :

                          • Complete visibility into OT assets and data flows: enables better risk management.
                          • Centralized logging: simplifies audits and compliance demonstration.
                          • Reduced attack surface: segmentation, filtering, and access control limit intrusion vectors.

                                  Result

                                  A secure, stable, and compliant food production line that meets safety and hygiene standards.
