Levoplant implements cybersecurity measures to combat rising floral industry threats

The floriculture sector is facing an increasing frequency of cyber incidents, making digital resilience a critical priority for growers and buyers. Levoplant, an orchid grower based in Honselersdijk, is implementing advanced technological and security measures to mitigate these risks.

Director and co-owner Ron Fransen is investing in both machinery and digital systems to support growing digitalization. The company utilizes several security protocols, including two-factor authentication (2FA), strict password policies, and mandatory cybersecurity e-learning for employees. To protect company data on mobile devices, Levoplant employs a specific app protection policy requiring devices to meet rigorous security standards.

As the company moves toward a new high-tech location, IT Architect and Coordinator Emile Aleman notes that while interconnected systems offer significant opportunities, they also introduce new risks. The company aims to stay ahead through digitalization and robust IT management.
