Critical Infrastructures are afavorite of aggressive Nation State cyber threats. In addition to communications disruptions,power outages, and healthcare billing, these attacks can also seek to disruptfood distribution.
The result – empty shelves andpeople scrambling to acquire groceries.
There is currently a cyber-attack affectingthe main grocery retailer in Scotland, resulting in empty shelves for many foodstuffs.
Nothing is as effective at changingpeople’s attitudes and motivating capitulation than the unavailability offood. It is an age-old strategy used forsieging forts, towns, and even nations.
Cybersecurity now protects many ofthe critical path systems for food production, transportation, and distribution.
It puts a different spin on thevalue of cybersecurity and how aggressive nations can wreak havoc on thecitizens of their adversary. It issomething to consider as we move into an age where cyber-attacks are beingleveraged as a foreign policy tool.
Cybersecurity is key and we must remain diligent to protectour critical infrastructure sectors!
