Download our white paper “Cybersecurity in the Food Industry” for free and gain practical guidance on how to secure continuity and regulatory compliance in your production environment.
The white paper provides a clear overview of today’s threat landscape, common vulnerabilities in production facilities, and concrete measures organizations can take to achieve an acceptable risk level.
SNOK is a tailored security monitoring solution for OT environments and is particularly well suited for the food industry. Learn how Secure-NOK’s customers use SNOK together with Secure-NOK’s analysis services to gain visibility and control over their production systems.
MandatorySecurity Requirements
Cybersecurity in the food industry is no longer optional—it is a legal obligation. The sector is now recognized as critical infrastructure, meaning that food producers of a certain size and/or societal importance are considered providers of essential services under the EU’s NIS2Directive.
This places significant requirements on how production environments must be protected.
Secure-NOKSecurity Status Assessment
The Security Status Assessment is a low-threshold, thorough, and non-binding evaluation of the cybersecurity posture of your industrial facility. The service includes a 60-day pilot license for our SNOK IDS / Security Monitoring System, with no need to invest in dedicated hardware and offered at a fixed one-time cost.
As part of the assessment, we conduct a comprehensive health check of your OT and IoT environments, including:
- A complete inventory of all digital assets
- Analysis of OT infrastructure and networks, including observed external interfaces and remote access
- Identification of vulnerabilities and improvement areas
The result is a clear, actionable security status report with tailored recommendations to strengthen the security of your facility—giving you a precise understanding of where you stand and what actions should be taken next.
