After a spate of high‑profile attacks on UK retailers, researchers argue that digital twins—live virtual replicas of operations and IT systems—can help food businesses detect threats early and stress‑test responses safely. In a strawberry packhouse scenario, fusing HVAC and intrusion data could flag anomalies before spoilage cascades through the supply chain. The takeaway: simulating attacks and monitoring in real time can keep critical operations running and maintain consumer trust.
