We have all heard about Cybersecurity, but you never really understand its importance until it happens directly to you. Hackers are getting more sophisticated, and they attack randomly. This is true even in Agriculture. Understand your options and prepare for the possibility that it could happen to you. Ponca Economic Development Corporation (PEDCO) is offering free Cybersecurity in Agriculture training in conjunction with the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Training will be available on-line, 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.
