Protecting the Food and Agriculture Sector with Gradient Cyber MXDR
Modern agri-businesses rely on a range of technologies from automated machinery to IoT. Security prevention solutions alone will not be enough to stop today’s attackers. Your business is exposed to an array of threats, including malware attacks, insider threats, and supply chain vulnerabilities that require a detection and response solution:
Agricultural Business Cyber Risks
Malware
Farm equipment, increasingly automated, can be halted by malware, affecting critical tasks like sowing or harvesting.
Phishing
Social engineering can dupe employees into revealing access to key agricultural databases or control systems.
Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Farms rely on a network of suppliers for everything from fertilizers to packaging. A single compromised entity can affect the entire chain.
Network Attacks
DoS/DDoS attacks can halt operations, from irrigation systems to food processing units.
Insider Threats
Disgruntled employees can manipulate crop predictions, tamper with inventory data, or affect quality control measures.
IoT Tampering
From soil sensors to automated feed systems in poultry, a compromised device can lead to erroneous decisions affecting yield and quality.
IP Theft
In a sector rich with research, innovation, and proprietary processes, APTs can extract intellectual property or manipulate market dynamics.

Impact of a Single Cyber Incident
Brand
Damage
A cyber breach can tarnish decades of goodwill. An incident highlighting compromised food safety can push consumers towards competitors, literally overnight.
Financial
Loss
Beyond the direct costs of rectifying a cyber breach, halted operations can be devastating. Crop cycles wait for no one. A delay in processing or logistics due to a cyber incident can mean financial losses that affect multiple seasons.
Legal & Regulatory Challenges
Even a minor cybersecurity incident could trigger a cascade of legal and regulatory challenges. Non-compliance with data protection regulations can lead to significant penalties.
