As agriculture becomes increasingly automated, the adoption of robotics, IoT, and geospatial technologies has transformed food production, making farming more efficient and precise. However, these advancements also expose critical vulnerabilities, as cyber threats targeting automated machinery, smart irrigation systems, and agricultural data networks pose serious risks to food security. This session will explore the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and precision agriculture, discussing real-world cyberattacks on farm infrastructure and demonstrating key defense strategies. Participants will gain insights into protecting smart farming systems, mitigating risks in advanced manufacturing and bio-chemical technologies, and ensuring the security of food production in an increasingly digital world.
