A digitally secure marketplace

Digitisation requires a marketplace that can withstand attacks by cyber criminals, something which is becoming increasingly frequent and sophisticated. This is why Royal FloraHolland has strict security requirements for its digital services and employs a team of security specialists who work daily to monitor threat information and determine what additional measures need to be taken.

Due to increasing digitalisation of our own marketplace and the overall floriculture sector, we are also facing more and more cyber incidents within the floriculture sector. The number of cyberattacks is on the rise and this could have a significant impact on the entire industry. More than 50% of all organisations will become victims of cybercrime. Royal FloraHolland's goal is to increase the digital resilience of our own marketplace but also the entire floriculture sector.

Increasing internal awareness

An important part of the measures taken is investing in the awareness of all employees as, after all, many security incidents start by someone clicking on a link in an email. The regular campaigning we do is paying off.

Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure

We do our utmost to ensure that our systems are safe with a high level of security. Through our Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure policy (responsible disclosure), we encourage, anyone who discovers of weaknesses and vulnerabilities to report them to us. If you find and report a weak spot, we pay out a reward. This helps us to take appropriate measures to fix the vulnerability found quickly.

Cyber Resilience Centre Greenport

Due to chain dependence (supply, cultivation, trade), the entire sector suffers if one of the partners cannot deliver due to a cyber incident. Increasing cyber resilience in the floriculture sector and raising awareness is essential in the route to a digitally secure sector. To contribute to this, Royal FloraHolland is one of the initiators of the Cyber Resilience Centre Greenport. Together with other chain partners, this initiative is committed to a digitally secure horticulture cluster.
