Food Supply Chain Applications: A Framework For Data Security
As technology becomes increasingly pervasive, data security solutions need to be made easier to use and adopt. Increasingly, organizations are integrating data security into their existing information technology environments and have begun to look at new ways to control security threats. In this paper, we propose a new framework for data security—a Cyber-Information Security System. This framework is agnostic to the type of information security threat or technology used by an organization and addresses a broad range of threats to information security, including: threats that may originate from outside an organization (i. , hackers and cybercriminals acting as external parties); threats that may originate from within an organization (i. , misconfigured computers); threats originating from third-party vendors; and threats posed by malicious applications. We present a framework for building a Cyber-Information Security System and demonstrate it using five use cases from food supply chain applications. The Cyber-Information Security System framework allows for the integration of multiple types of security tools and allows for the definition of different types of threats and possible responses to these threats. We then apply the framework to discuss a case study with food distribution companies that implemented the framework, and conclude with a discussion of various possible applications and future work.
For decades, cyberattacks have been one of the most serious threats to information security. These attacks typically aim to gain unauthorized access to an organization’s information resources in some way. Although the vast majority of attacks are unsuccessful (e. , they are stopped before they cause any loss), there remains a small number of attacks, called white-hat, that are successful and use a wide variety of techniques. In 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) noted the number of successful attacks as doubling each year. 1 However, despite the prevalence of successful cyberattacks, these attacks have received very little attention in the cybersecurity community and are only now being investigated much more carefully. In particular, the FBI is now reviewing how to combat successful cyberattacks by building cyber-information security systems into the FBI’s investigative framework. Such cyber-information security systems are necessary in today’s digital environment because the potential for successful attacks is substantial.
Many of the technologies used in cyberattacks are similar or overlapping to those which make up the cyber-information security systems discussed in this paper.
The Food Industry May Be Paying Attention To Its Weakness to Cyberattacks.
Article Title: The Food Industry May Be Paying Attention To Its Weakness to Cyberattacks | Computer Security. Full Article Text: The food industry may be paying attention to its weakness in cybersecurity after the recent attack on the restaurant chain Carl’s Jr. The company’s server was breached by an unknown and previously unspeakable threat. It was then that a vulnerability was discovered in the food delivery platform that could have potentially impacted the whole of the hospitality industry. Now, it has been revealed that the restaurant chain was able to exploit this vulnerability and get a full refund from the company that paid for the cyber attack, potentially opening the door for other food-related companies to consider a more sophisticated plan.
From the very beginning, the restaurant chain CEO and CTO, John Saladino, has been a public face for the company attempting to combat the ever-changing and ever-increasing cyber threats that could affect the hospitality industry. In the company’s latest venture, the server was breached and the company suffered a massive loss. After the hack, Carl’s Jr. has not been able to reimburse the victim fully.
The CEO of the company, a man named John Saladino, has released a statement on the situation stating that he has been “horrified by the attack. ” His statement, however, has not explained how the breach was possible, nor has it outlined how much the company had to spend in order to fix things.
“We are investigating an incident in which the restaurant’s server was hacked into,” Saladino said in the statement. “We have never had an incident of this nature, and will take the lessons learned from this incident—including the reimbursement of our victim—with humility and accountability.
The incident led Carl’s Jr. chairman and CEO, Daniel Boulud, to give his most recent statement about the situation.
“Our server was hacked and the restaurant suffered a massive loss. We will never be able to compensate the customer for their losses,” Mr. Boulud said in a statement obtained by The Register [sic]… “We are sorry this incident occurred and will continue to support the customer who was victimized. We are working with our legal counsel and the authorities to ensure that this does not repeat.
Food is vulnerable
The North American Meat Institute and the USDA: Resilient, Diverse and Secure Meat Supply Chains.
Article Title: The North American Meat Institute and the USDA: Resilient, Diverse and Secure Meat Supply Chains | Computer Security. Full Article Text: In a landmark decision, the U. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the National Meat Institute (NMII) violated federal law by failing to properly maintain files on meat imports it receives from the U. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The court concluded that the NMII and USDA failed to notify foreign exporters of the records it maintains for meat imports they wish to purchase. The court specifically criticized the NMII, which was previously criticized with the federal government for its lack of transparency. The lawsuit was filed in 2004 against the NMII and USDA on behalf of a coalition of American animal welfare groups, which included the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and PETA. The coalition represented over 12,000 poultry farmers in the District of Columbia, and also included the animal welfare nonprofit, the Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF). In the same decision, the D. Circuit rejected the USDA’s arguments that the NMII did not have authority to regulate the importation of meat from the United States. The court concluded, “NMII’s authority to regulate [the United States’ domestic poultry industry]. is quite broad. ” Since 2001, the NMII has received a vast number of poultry imports from USDA, which are then subject to import laws, such as the Agricultural Act of 1949. In the opinion of the D. Circuit, the NMII’s lack of data on these imports is a violation of the Federal Meat Inspection Act, which requires the agency to “file [and] maintain accurate records” of meat imports, and regulations like those issued under the Act. The court added that the NMII could “lend assistance to USDA in [improving] data collection” on imported meat. As the court explained, the NMII’s failure to provide the government-mandated information about the import of certain meat imports “appears to represent either negligence, or willful failure to perform some act required by law, and amounts to a procedural violation. ” This decision means that U. poultry importing companies cannot depend on the NMII to make sure they are selling imported meat across all parts of the U.
