Cybersecurity in Food + Ag Supply Chain
Hosted by Grand Farm

The age of agricultural complacency towards cybersecurity and related threats has been blown away by reality. The ransomware attacks on JBS in 2021 and the new Cooperative and Crystal Valley attack showed that the era of cybersecurity complacency has ended in the ag sector.

As part of Grand Farm’s commitment to lead on topics critical to the future of agriculture, this is a special pre-conference event to the Cultivate Conference, focused on the near and future cyber (and related) threats, mitigation, and responses for the Ag community delivered in straightforward language.
