Modern food production relies upon a collaboration of information technology and operational technology. Break one or the other, or both, and our food supply is jeopardized. Organizations lack visibility into the technologies and the associated vulnerabilities. Different teams are responsible for different aspects, further complicating the matter. We do not have central source for inventory, for vulnerabilities, for controls, or even for ownership. This is at a time when new technologies, such as the Internet of Things, and new threats are entering production environments. In this session, we will survey the problem and propose an approach to assessing the technology and gauging the risk to our food supply.
