How We Help a Food & Beverage Plant Avoid Weeks of Downtime

F&B is heavily targeted due to operational weaknesses—InfoSight protects your IT/OT systems so operations stay online when it matters.

Client Spotlight: Quirch Foods

Industry: Food Distribution | Headquarters: Miami Lakes, FL

The Challenge

For a food distributor like Quirch Foods, uninterrupted operations are non-negotiable. As one of the largest food product distributors in the Southeastern U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean, any downtime during peak shipping seasons could disrupt grocery chains, restaurants, and cruise lines.

In a threat landscape where ransomware groups increasingly target the food and beverage sector, Quirch needed a cybersecurity partner they could trust—one that not only protected their systems but also communicated clearly and acted proactively.

The Mission

Quirch Foods partnered with InfoSight to:

Protect all digital assets and operational data from cyberattacks

Continuously identify and reduce network vulnerabilities

Test employee awareness through simulated phishing and improve policy effectiveness

Strengthen their ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats

 

Our Approach

InfoSight delivered a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy built for F&B operations:

Network & Vulnerability Testing

Conducted external, internal, and wireless assessments semi-annually

Performed penetration tests to simulate real-world attacks

Delivered clear mitigation plans to reduce high-impact risks

Email Phishing Simulations

Executed social engineering campaigns to test employee response

Identified weak points in security awareness

Helped refine training and response protocols

 

Advisory & Communication

Provided tailored cybersecurity guidance for Quirch’s evolving infrastructure

Maintained consistent, transparent communication with internal teams

Offered expert recommendations that aligned with compliance needs and operational realities

 

The Result: Security Without Surprises

“Working with InfoSight is such a smooth process. They know what to do and how to do it—and they always go above and beyond to make sure our networks are secure. We never have to check in on what InfoSight is doing because we trust them, but they also never leave us in the dark. Their communication really stands out from previous providers.”

— Quirch Foods Employee

With InfoSight’s support, Quirch has stayed ahead of emerging threats, minimized downtime risk, and improved both employee awareness and system readiness—all without interrupting daily operations.

 

Why It Matters—Especially Now

As we head into the holiday season, food and beverage manufacturers face peak demand, constrained resources, and increasing cyberattacks. In 2025 alone, ransomware incidents targeting F&B companies have more than doubled, and attackers continue to exploit legacy systems and weak employee defenses.

 

According to recent reporting, a major U.S. food wholesaler’s distribution was shut down in June 2025 due to a cyberattack—impacting orders right before the holiday ramp-up.

Don’t let that be your story.

Take the First Step Before Peak Season

InfoSight’s team can help your organization:

Identify hidden vulnerabilities

Test your readiness against phishing and ransomware

Provide rapid, actionable guidance without disruption
