About the programme
Course Overview
Agricultural and food processing facilities are critical pillars of national food security, responsible for producing, storing, and transforming raw materials into consumable products.
Due to the nature of these operations—which combine biological processes with industrial systems—these facilities face a wide range of security threats including intentional contamination, sabotage, theft, cyberattacks, and operational accidents.
Securing these environments requires more than physical protection; it involves quality control monitoring, access management, data security, and coordination with regulatory and health authorities.
This workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to develop and implement comprehensive security strategies tailored to the agricultural and food sectors.
It emphasizes the importance of security in building consumer trust, protecting supply chains, and ensuring uninterrupted production in a enterprise agility frameworks and stable environment.
Over five intensive days, participants will gain practical tools to safeguard agricultural assets, mitigate risks, and enhance facility readiness against diverse threats.
