Cyber security for the food services sector
In today’s connected world, securing your business assets is critical to maintaining business success. Are your cyber security systems mature enough to support your business?

Evolving technologies, increased regulatory scrutiny and economic uncertainty are key factors in the risk landscape. According to the CSIRO, the key issues facing the food sector include traceability and provenance, food safety and biosecurity, market intelligence and access, as well as collaboration and knowledge sharing. These all involve a connected world, which introduces vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cyber criminals.
Securing Australia’s food and agribusiness sector will ensure resilience in the industry and build greater trust in the overall system, leading to ongoing benefits for the Australian economy.
Sense of Security can help your food services business create a trusted ecosystem, which is secure by design, and assist you to achieve greater cyber maturity. We do this through our security, data protection and risk management services.
What we do
With Sense of Security’s cyber security services, you will:
- Understand the extent to which you may be susceptible to supply chain risks.
- Understand threats to your business and vulnerabilities in your defences
- Get well-designed and effective security solution design
- Meet your compliance and policy commitments, and
- Train your team on world-class cyber security best practices.
Supply Chain Risks
Understanding Supply Chain Risks today means thinking beyond first order threats. With nested supply chains these could be second and third order threats. Threats could come from outsourced services, hardware and software development, software consumption and multi-tenant SaaS subscriptions.
We can help manage these risks through static, dynamic and physical testing of your devices and systems. Hardening your environments against known attack methods will also reduce your risks. We ensure your backup strategies are functional and vendor settings are fine-tuned from vulnerable defaults.

Incident response
