"Cybersecurity Protects Food, Agriculture"

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is working on the first US Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-sponsored effort to explore the cybersecurity vulnerabilities and potential impact of increasingly smart agriculture technologies on US society. The "Food and Agriculture Risk Modeling" (FARM) project will proactively identify vulnerabilities in today's digital agricultural software and equipment as well as calculate the consequences of potentially successful cyberattacks. According to Mary Lancaster, an epidemiologist and data scientist at PNNL, FARM stems from PNNL's industrial cybersecurity research, which focused on expanding vulnerability identification in new directions. This article continues to discuss the FARM project.
