Panel Discussion: The Human Side of Food-Sector Cyber Resilience
Leaders debate culture, training and the people who keep production running securely.

CSAFI hosted a panel discussion on the human side of food-sector cyber resilience, bringing together plant managers, security leaders and human-resources professionals to explore the role that people and culture play in keeping production secure.
The panel agreed that technology alone is never enough: the difference between a contained incident and a plant-wide outage often comes down to whether operators feel able to raise the alarm early and act without waiting for permission.
A summary of the discussion, including the panellists’ recommendations, is available to members.
