Australia’s rural industries have already faced two significant cyber attacks in the past 12 months – is agriculture becoming a top cyber target, and are we prepared?
That’s a question a new AgriFutures Australia report by BDO explores, commissioned to identify rural industries’ cyber security vulnerabilities and to provide information on appropriate responses for producers, industry and agribusinesses of all sizes.
