Swire Coca-Cola manufactures, distributes, and sells Coca-Cola and other beverage brands across 13 states in the American West. With more than 8,000 associates and $3 billion in annual revenue, the company serves roughly 31 million consumers through a portfolio of over 50 brands - from Coca-Cola and Sprite to Monster Energy and Smartwater. That's a sprawling supply chain, manufacturing footprint, and distribution network to defend.
The threat model here is classic critical infrastructure meets consumer goods: operational technology on bottling lines, massive ERP and logistics systems handling high-volume transactions, endpoint sprawl across warehouses and field operations, and a workforce of eight thousand that needs identity management at scale. The attack surface spans IT and OT environments, with third-party integrations throughout the distribution pipeline adding lateral movement risk.
On the sustainability front, Swire Coca-Cola has committed to water stewardship, climate action, and packaging innovation - initiatives that increasingly run on connected sensors and cloud platforms, expanding the digital perimeter further. Any security team joining this operation is dealing with real physical-world consequences: a compromised logistics system doesn't just leak data, it stops product from reaching shelves across the western United States.
