Episode 7: Should We Blindly Trust Our Suppliers?

Episode 7: Should We Blindly Trust Our Suppliers?

Suppliers are part of the solution, and part of the risk. In this final episode, Hans Christian Hansen and Daniele Plazzi highlight why cybersecurity cannot be based on paperwork alone. They present the Supplier Declaration of Conformity as a low-threshold, practical way to establish real trust. They also raise the challenge of legacy machines: where contracts offer little protection and they explain why protecting older assets is only possible through close collaboration. The conclusion is simple: in cybersecurity, it’s never “us versus them.” It’s “always us together”. ------------------------------------- Cyber Resilience for a Stronger Corrugated Industry is a podcast of FEFCO [https://www.fefco.org/] | Production by De Praeters [https://depraeters.be/].

Episode 6: What Matters More: Technology or Human Behavior?

More than 70% of cyber incidents come from human error. It only takes one wrong click to compromise an entire business. Daniele Plazzi and Hans Christian Hansen talk about the three-pillar approach: good practices, strong technology, and, most importantly, awareness at every level of the company. Because change starts at the top, but it only succeeds when every employee is engaged. ------------------------------------- Cyber Resilience for a Stronger Corrugated Industry is a podcast of FEFCO [https://www.fefco.org/] | Production by De Praeters [https://depraeters.be/].

Episode 5: Can We Objectively Measure Where We Stand?

Awareness is not enough. Companies need a clear picture of their current cyber posture. In this episode, Daniele Plazzi introduces the FEFCO Excel checklist, a tool developed with producers and suppliers to make global standards like NIST 2.0 practical for our industry. They show how the checklist reveals both strengths and gaps, how it can be repeated year after year, and how it turns risk management into a continuous improvement process. For many, it’s the first simple step toward resilience. ------------------------------------- Cyber Resilience for a Stronger Corrugated Industry is a podcast of FEFCO [https://www.fefco.org/] | Production by De Praeters [https://depraeters.be/].

Episode 4: Could We Be the Weakest Link in the Supply Chain?

Even if corrugated producers are not yet under NIS2 regulation, our customers and suppliers are. Hans Christian Hansen and Daniele Plazzi explain what that means in practice: accountability now extends across the entire supply chain. From food and water production to chemicals and logistics, most partners already face compliance obligations. If we can’t prove resilience, we risk becoming the weakest link. The conversation turns to how tools like the FEFCO checklist can help us demonstrate security, not just for ourselves, but for the entire sector. ------------------------------------- Cyber Resilience for a Stronger Corrugated Industry is a podcast of FEFCO [https://www.fefco.org/] | Production by De Praeters [https://depraeters.be/].

Episode 3: Is Cybersecurity a Matter of Survival?

“What happens if every plant in your company goes down, not for hours, but for weeks?” That’s the uncomfortable question raised here. Hans Christian Hansen, Daniele Plazzi and colleagues weigh the real consequences: lost production, broken customer trust, reputational damage, even the loss of insurability. They argue that cybersecurity is not an IT expense, but a strategic board-level responsibility, as essential to survival as any investment in machinery or infrastructure. ------------------------------------- Cyber Resilience for a Stronger Corrugated Industry is a podcast of FEFCO [https://www.fefco.org/] | Production by De Praeters [https://depraeters.be/].
