Full Episode
Welcome back to the Bites and Bites podcast, everyone. I am your host, Kristen M. Ranville. Today's episode is part one of a two-part series featuring two incredible guests that you might recognize from previous episodes, Andrew Rose and Dr. Darren Detweiler. We have a bit of a recap of a panel we did together in InCyber Montreal conference this past October.
Then we'll be talking about the fragility of our food systems, the critical role of cybersecurity, and what's at stake if we don't act now. It's a very sobering yet inspiring conversation, so let's get into it. Well, welcome back, everybody. We have some returning guests, but we're also going to talk about a panel that we all recently did together in Montreal.
And this is going to be kind of a continuation of that and a little bit for those who missed it. If you weren't at the InCyber conference in Montreal, Darren and Andrew, thank you for being here. We're going to start with quick introductions because I'm sure everybody needs to remember who you are. So tell me how you help people and why that matters to society. Andrew, you can start.
Sure. I am Andrew Rose. I am an advisor with the BioISAC. I represent the bioagriculture work group there. How we help people is basically to... trying to ensure they have food that they eat in a reliable consistent manner. Who we help are the agricultural community and bringing awareness mitigation response to cyber and related threats that they may encounter.
My role in that is understanding what those threats may be and putting tabletop and field exercises on and I have a particular fascination with agriculture for many reasons.
Darren?
I am a food safety professor and author and advocate, and I help in the areas of awareness, allies, advocacy, and even activism. And specifically, I help people who work in food safety for major corporations where They say, well, we never talk about food safety and I can't get in and the conversation around food safety.
And I say, well, you know, when they're talking about reducing waste and improving upon inefficiencies and maximizing profits and and and, you know, that kind of stuff. That's where you can talk about food safety. When you look at it that way, when you look at the idea of brand reputation and a corporate mission statement, how does food safety relate to that?
How do all these different things relate to that? So I basically help people, I listen, and then I help them reframe the conversation.
