Riousset P. (2024) Cybersicherheit in der Nahrungsmittelversorgung. Endbericht zum TA-Projekt . TAB-Arbeitsbericht Nr. 209. Büro für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag (TAB) |
Based on a brief summary of digitisation trends and an outline of the current threat situation and the most important future challenges for cyber security in Germany, the report examines the extent to which a threat to security of supply can be assumed and which attack scenarios pose a particular threat. The findings are based on both an empirical analysis of past incidents and expert interviews. Particular attention has been paid to growing risks that result from digitalisation trends. The focus was on possible attacks with disruptive consequences. The scenarios were distinguished according to their possible main target: agricultural production systems, food processing, logistics and retail. The report identifies key factors that affect the extent of cyber-attacks and outlines possible options for future cyber-security policy in the food sector.
