Tetra Pak's threat surface is enormous - and physical. The Swedish-born food processing and packaging giant operates in over 160 countries, with more than 24,000 employees running systems that move dairy, juice, plant-based products, and ice cream from processing lines to store shelves worldwide. Every carton, every tetrahedron, every distribution node is an attack vector. The company's core infrastructure spans food processing automation, packaging lines, and global distribution services - industrial control systems, supply chain platforms, and the data pipelines that connect them.
Founded in 1951, Tetra Pak built its name on the tetrahedron packaging system and has since expanded into innovative carton packages designed for food safety, shelf life optimization, and sustainability. The company's commitment to waste reduction and sustainable materials means cybersecurity isn't just about protecting corporate IP - it's about safeguarding the integrity of physical goods consumed by millions of people. Compromised processing controls or tampered packaging systems don't just leak data; they can put contaminated food into circulation across 160+ markets.
The security team operates across IT and OT domains - protecting both the digital infrastructure and the industrial control systems that run packaging lines and processing equipment. With a mission to make food safe and available everywhere, the stakes for getting security right are measured not in breached records but in public health outcomes. The company's scale and geographic footprint demand a security posture that's as distributed and resilient as the supply chain it defends.
