Newport Beach, CA – January 21, 2025
Proactive Cybersecurity Solutions Protect Agricultural Data, Automation, and Remote Management Systems
GuardTower, a leader in proactive cybersecurity solutions, is partnering with TechSupport.Farm to deliver cutting-edge security measures for agri-business operations. As modern farming adopts advanced technologies like grain processing systems, dairy robotics, drones, and precision field equipment, safeguarding these assets against cyber threats has become critical to maintaining operational continuity and food supply security.
The Growing Cybersecurity Risks in Agriculture
Innovations in agriculture have transformed farm management and operational efficiency, but they have also exposed the industry to industrial control system (ICS) attacks and cyber sabotage by bad actors seeking to disrupt food production and supply chains. “Securing agricultural technology is now a top priority,” said Chris Sherman, Principal Owner at TechSupport.Farm. “GuardTower is a key component of our security strategy, enabling us to protect farms, suppliers, and agricultural operations from evolving threats.”
How GuardTower Protects Agri-Businesses
GuardTower’s advanced cybersecurity platform empowers Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs) by deploying proactive threat deterrence strategies, including:
Deception Tactics: Lures attackers into honeypots, isolating malicious actors from high-value systems.
Threat Detection: Identifies and traces cyberattacks back to their sources.
Proactive Defense: Delays, disrupts, and neutralizes attacks before they can compromise critical
agricultural data or infrastructure.
This intelligence-driven approach enables real-time security interventions, minimizing disruptions to farm operations while gathering actionable intelligence on emerging threats.
