NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0
A free framework, voluntary for most organisations, for governing, identifying and reducing cyber risk. Version 2.0 (February 2024) added a sixth function, Govern.
PoultryCyber Resilience Hub
Bringing producers, processors, integrators and cyber leaders together to protect high-throughput poultry operations and the wider supply chain.
Hub overview
Collective resilience for a connected sector.
Poultry operations connect farms, hatcheries, feed systems, processing plants and cold-chain distribution. The hub turns shared operational risk into coordinated industry action.
What we do in the hub
Threat briefings
Timely, food-sector context on emerging threats and defensive priorities.
Expert roundtables
Small, trusted conversations between operators, practitioners and partners.
Resilience exercises
Scenario-led sessions for testing decisions before a real incident.
Working groups
Focused collaboration on common controls, dependencies and good practice.
Executive exchanges
Peer discussions designed for boards and operational leadership.
Research & playbooks
Useful outputs shaped by the people responsible for food operations.
The operational reality
Why Poultry needs cyber resilience
Digital systems now sit inside the processes that keep products safe, production moving and customers supplied.
Processing-line disruption
Ransomware can halt high-throughput production and create immediate animal-welfare and food-safety consequences.
Connected farm systems
Ventilation, feeding and environmental controls expand the operational attack surface.
Integrator exposure
Shared platforms and suppliers can spread risk across farms and processing sites.
Sector cyber compliance
From requirements to operational confidence.
The frameworks organisations build on, and the rules worth knowing where they operate.
Frameworks for every hub
Global Global ISO/IEC 27001
The international standard for an information security management system. Organisations can be certified against it by an accredited certification body.
Global ISA/IEC 62443
A series of standards for securing industrial automation and control systems — the operational technology that runs plants, farms and warehouses.
Why it matters
Helps secure connected production equipment without compromising availability.

Rules to know, by region
European Union NIS2 Directive
The EU's cybersecurity directive, applied through each country's own law, covers food businesses engaged in wholesale distribution and industrial production and processing — generally medium-sized and large ones.
Why it matters
Poultry processors in scope must manage cyber risk across their suppliers and report a significant incident — an early warning within 24 hours.
Read moreUnited States FDA's Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204)
Requires firms handling foods on FDA's Food Traceability List to record key data elements at critical tracking events such as shipping and receiving.
Why it matters
Shell eggs are on the list (poultry meat, regulated by USDA, is not), and FDA can ask for the records within 24 hours in an outbreak or recall — so the systems holding them must stay available and accurate.
Read moreAustralia Ransomware payment reporting (Cyber Security Act 2024)
Since May 2025, businesses in Australia with turnover over A$3 million, and many critical infrastructure operators, must report any ransomware or cyber-extortion payment to the government within 72 hours.
Why it matters
Deciding how a site would respond to extortion, before it happens, is now part of being ready to report.

A starting point, not legal advice — which rules apply depends on where and how your organisation operates.
