Cybersecurity Policy for a Sustainable Circular Bioeconomy: An Overview
Abstract
A sustainable circular bioeconomy includes interconnected complex supply chains in which data is shared with various stakeholders such as manufacturers, farmers, and researchers. It also relies on sensitive data acquisition via IoT sensors, posing unique cybersecurity risks. This study offers an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape in a sustainable circular bioeconomy. It assesses cybersecurity policies addressing the risks of interconnectedness, data sensitivity, operational technology vulnerabilities, and emergent technologies. It analyzes critical elements such as data governance, operational technology security, end-to-end supply chain data protection, incident response, recovery, training, and awareness. Furthermore, it proposes a holistic approach comprising the integration of sustainability initiatives into cybersecurity operations.
