"Securing the Food Pipeline from Cyberattacks"

The Food and Agriculture Risk Modeling (FARM) project, led by Mary Lancaster, a Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) epidemiologist and data scientist, and PNNL researchers, is the first exploration of the cybersecurity vulnerabilities of an increasingly smart food and agriculture sector for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Advanced technology is the future of agriculture, and there are already numerous examples of technologies controlled by smart devices and computer systems. They have created opportunities for greater economic yields and promise safer, more efficient, and environmentally aware processes. However, the same technology designed to improve agriculture and food production poses a cyberattack risk. This article continues to discuss the FARM project aimed at protecting the food and agriculture sector from cyberattacks.
