E74: Staying Ahead of Cyber Threats in Ag
Show Notes

Earlier this year, meat giant JBS was forced to pay millions in ransom when a cybersecurity breach left data critical to their operation vulnerable to online criminals. Since then, other
organizations, from cooperatives to pipelines, have also been attacked, and with more and more of agriculture’s critical information being stored online, anxiety is growing. 

Today, DTN’s Victoria Myers joins us to discuss her ongoing series on Cybersecurity in the ag sector, walking us through the hacks we’ve seen, how companies and law enforcement are responding, and what might be ahead in terms of future risk. Then, Victoria will bring us up to date on the best tips for keeping your systems and data secure.
