PRESS RELEASE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

New York City, January 13, 2025<\/span><\/span> \u2014 Grupo Bimbo Ventures, the venture capital arm of Grupo Bimbo, the world’s leading baking company and a significant player in the snack industry, is pleased to announce a strategic investment in NanoLock Security, a global leader in OT cybersecurity and management solutions for industrial manufacturing and critical infrastructure. This investment underscores Grupo Bimbo’s commitment to embrace innovation that can benefit global markets and needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The food industry plays a critical role in national resilience. However, it has increasingly become a target for cyber threat actors. Food manufacturers manage complex and diverse industrial systems across multiple sites, creating vulnerabilities that threat actors can exploit. The use of third-party contractors for system maintenance and updates further heightens risks if not properly monitored.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their zero-trust approach provides centralized, global enforcement of security policies across diverse industrial environments. This flexibility is crucial for maintaining the security and operational integrity of manufacturing facilities worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n
