We have all heard about Cybersecurity, but you never really understand its importance until an attack happens to you. Hackers are getting more sophisticated, and they strike randomly. This is true even in Agriculture. Understand your options and prepare for the possibility you could be the next victim of a cybercrime. Ponca Economic Development Corporation (PEDCO) is offering free Cybersecurity in Agriculture training in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Training will be available online or in-person if requested. Training sites will be available in any of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska offices throughout the Service Area if requested. Below are some examples of attacks on Agriculture in North America.
