Bites and Bytes Podcast · How Cybersecurity is Reshaping Food Safety with Rick Biros · 14 Oct 2024 podcast

Obviously, the government agents, they take their beat, which is fine. But I was never at a conference where people just kind of like raised their hand and spoke and just said what they wanted to say in the crowd. And that, I mean, I kind of went back to the security community and I thought, wow, we should really be doing that more, right?

So we should be speaking our minds, but we play politics a lot. So that's hard. But I just want you to know, I love that you've cultivated this networking, inclusive group that gets together and is able to actually share problems and find actual solutions. I was watching solutions being presented in real time. It was really wonderful to see that.

And I'm very excited to see what's going to happen this year as well, since we've got a lot to talk about with like, you know, Boar's Head and speaking of disasters and a few other things. And all the new regulations that are supposedly coming out and all these other fun things.

I wanted to ask, because you got me thinking while you were talking, what is your most memorable moment from the publication and also the consortium? So you keep that in your head whenever you think about it.

That's amazing. Yeah.

That's great. That's good feedback, actually. That's really great feedback.

That's awesome. How many years has it been running now?

Oh, so you got a teenager.

You got a teenager now. Wow.

No problem. I'm here for all the weird information.

Yeah, you converted to online for that, didn't you?

Yeah. Yeah, I could totally get that.

We lost a lot of people as well. I mean, not because of COVID specifically, but a lot of people lost their jobs. Yeah. Yeah, that was a weird time. Yeah. I don't think a lot of people even realize how much the food supply chain got rocked during the COVID times.

I don't really feel like there's really no great way to illustrate it other than we realized how broken it was, I guess, is probably the good thing that came out of it. And now we're trying to claw our way back. And not position flexibility. Correct. It was not agile at all. Hey listeners, a quick break from my conversation with Rick. The Bites and Bytes podcast is officially one years old.

It's been a fantastic year. And again, thank you to all of the OG listeners and the new listeners for joining me on this journey. I'm excited about the next chapter of the podcast, and I can't wait to bring you along.

Also, I want to take a moment and send a massive thank you to all of you who voted for the Bites and Bites podcast and the technology category for the Women in Podcasting Network Awards of 2024. Seriously, your support means the world to me, and I'm so grateful. The winners will be announced at the end of October, so stay tuned.

Fingers crossed, and thank you again for being such amazing listeners. Now back to my conversation. I'd like to say that there's been improvements since then, but we still are very rigid. And I think some of the things that have recently happened in the news, a.k.a. Boar's Head, has kind of reminded us that we need to pivot a little bit better and create cultures where people can say things.

Because obviously the reason why nothing happened there was because people didn't feel comfortable enough to say anything. I'm guessing there was just a really bad culture in that culture. plant. Now, this is me speculating. I'm not going any further.

But that's why I think it's so important for events like this to be the way they are, Rick, because it needs to have that kind of culture vibe where people can feel accepted and okay to talk about problems that are going on in their facilities in an open, transparent way with respect, of course, to like NDAs without fear or ridicule or shame for, oh, you had that problem? You're obviously a loser.

I've never felt that way standing at the conference because, well, first of all, I mean, I'm the outlier, either the or one of two that is from the cybersecurity world. I get excited when I see another cybersecurity person. I'm like, look, hi. It's just one of those things. Anyways, but I wanted to ask, who attends the conference?
