Dairy Sector Threat Landscape 2025

Dairy runs on continuous processes and tight cold chains, which makes downtime unusually expensive and the sector an attractive target. This report profiles the threats seen against dairy members over the past year.

Ransomware and business-email compromise lead the list, but the report also flags the risks in the highly automated, sensor-dense environments modern dairies run.

It closes with a prioritised control set tuned to the sector: protect the process network, secure remote access to automation, and rehearse recovery for a plant that cannot simply stop.
