Could a cyberattack disrupt crop production? As agriculture increasingly relies on connected equipment, automation, AI and digital data, cybersecurity is becoming an important part of protecting food production. hubs.li/Q04B3dmS0 Researchers from Washington State University and other institutions are proposing a national Agriculture Cybersecurity Consortium to help the industry identify vulnerabilities and strengthen its defenses. Published in Nature Food, the proposal calls for coordinated research, real-world testing facilities and workforce training to protect technologies ranging from autonomous tractors and spray drones to irrigation controllers and weather monitoring systems. The goal is to help farmers and agricultural businesses adopt new technologies while reducing the risk of disruptions to critical operations. #AgriculturalCybersecurity #AgTech #DigitalAgriculture #CropProduction #FoodSecurity
