Description

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 straight-forward language. SCHEDULE 1:00 - 2:00 pm: Cybersecurity Briefing for Food and Ag Supply Chain This Grand Farm Cultivate pre-conference special session will review some of the main cybersecurity (and related threats) to the agricultural community, as well as how to mitigate and respond to them delivered in a straight-forward manner. Our experts will review some current threats, simple steps to make yourself a harder target to hit, and what to do if you are the victim of a cybercrime.

Given Governor Burgum's tech background, this is an expectation rather than an aspiration. At this Emerging Digital Academy showcase you’ll hear the stories from North Dakota teams who have excelled at bug bounty, vulnerable testing, AgTech and more.
