You don't want this to happen to everybody.
You know, and again, I think as it becomes more and more important as part of kind of, you know, the hazard assessment process, the push to include cyber as part of the recovery disaster planning. Yes. Having a framework, you know, like kind of, you know, in food, an example of having a framework is most food manufacturers have a program in place for recalls, right? Uh-huh.
We have a contaminated food that's left our factory. What are we going to do? How are we going to make sure that it doesn't go inside a consumer's mouth and make it hurt? I mean, really today, the overarching problem here, we could look at bottom lines and all that stuff. The matter is, is food and medicine are probably the two things created that people ingest catastrophic consequences.
Not even if it's like the Tylenol pills from the 80s. It could be peanut in your flour.
Peanut dust. Yes. Peanut dust is in everything.
Yes. child who has an allergy could eat and it could be a fatal event yep i as the executive of the food company would never have wanted that on my shoulders um ever so you know the the and i would i would extrapolate that out maybe there's one greedy guy out there but the truth is no leader no executive no employee of a company would want to see their product have that consequence
So, you know, but it's planning for it. It's worrying about it. So, you know, if you take that protocol we do for recall, we need to have this kind of protocol in place. And as they increasingly become a risk, we need to have it more prevalent, more important.
front and center because as we evolve, you know, the ERP system that we put in place and you start connecting the IoT devices to it, more vulnerabilities, you start automating processes where your whole system is automated, where the ingredients are getting included into the batch without no manual intervention.
All of these places are points where somebody can come in and do something you don't want them to do.
I've seen it done in labs. I've seen it done in labs. I'm sure every OT, ICS specialist is listening to this right now. I'll go, yep, we know we've seen those in our labs before. Everything keeps moving and the green light's still on, yet it's been messed.
And as we progress further into our embracing artificial intelligence. Yep. Food is behind on that. In fact, one of the statistics studies I was looking at, you know, there's probably about a third of the industry is just not even interested in taking it on. And part of it is because they're just not that sophisticated yet. You know, they're happy making grandma's old recipe cookies.
And why would they need the tech if it's working, right? It's fine. You know, the problem is, is that as we see the retail community continue to consolidate and continue to become a strong presence in the supply chain, they require the automation. They require the technology, the traceability. You know, sometimes it's automation for efficiency because they're trying prices.
I mean, you know, take Walmart, for example. They have missions, drive those prices down. Aldi, Lidl, all those competitors we see out there. Every little ounce you can shave off in cost or the little bit less you can do in the delivery process translates to the bottom line. So there's a... huge effort by these large retailers to scratch every efficiency they can into the mix.
Now, that's going to be where I think you see the continued push in the industry. But going back to the AI, when you start lending these technologies, and again, vulnerable points, really smart people who know computers better than I can find ways to get into these organizations through these different paths and reach absolute havoc. Yeah, it's scary. Or is it just malice?
I mean, sometimes it's just... Yeah, or is it nation state, you know? And just because... It's all going to be a bigger play as we go forward as well. It'll be part of that Cold War.
I do think we're going to see it in our lifetime. It's already here. We're just going to see it differently than we already do. I mean, Ukraine's been a great example of that. Well, not great, but as an example. What's been happening in Canada with the Russian gangs going after their dairy industries... quite interesting and watch the space, I guess, is what I say to that one.
The GPS being knocked out of the tractors during planting season just from solar flares is also going to make people go, I can mess with the ag industry.
If you think about it, you know, when the Russian military took over parts of the Ukraine, they took back equipment, you know, John Deere's and whatnot. And John Deere went in and locked down those computers. To be honest, it probably just delayed them a while before they broke it. Yeah.
Well, technically, you can hack a John Deere.
But the fact that you have now the ability of a manufacturer to transmit to the operating vehicle in the field and shut it down is just, again, another vulnerable point. And the examples continue, but that's the big risk I think we see is the continued evolution is going to be better for efficiency and for food production to grow and less resources to grow more, all that sort of stuff.
