Cyber Threats Impacting the Food and Agriculture Sector

While ransomware is the most common cyberattack vector for businesses, other cyber threats can be far more dangerous to the food supply system

What Exactly is "Information Sharing?"

Threat information should be disseminated as rapidly as possible, and is encouraged between businesses that may otherwise be restricted by anti-competitive laws or regulations
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
June 12, 2023

Threat information should be disseminated as rapidly as possible, especially between businesses that may otherwise be restricted by anti-competitive laws or regulations. This article discusses the nature of the information that should be and is typically shared by businesses participating in an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC).

Cybersecurity and Food Defense: Establishing an ISAC for the Food and Agriculture Sector

With security threats on the rise, an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC) is needed for the food and agriculture sector
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
April 10, 2023

With security threats against the sector increasing and cyber threats against the global supply system also on the rise, it is imperative that a food and agriculture ISAC be formed. It does not have to be fully capable at the start; just a few large companies that agree to pool and analyze threat information can plant the initial seed. If successful awareness and deterrence can be demonstrated, then other companies will join. At full capability, the ISAC can serve as a watch and warning center for the sector, providing timely threat analysis for members at all levels. In this article, the authors look at what it takes to create and run a successful ISAC.

An Information Sharing and Analysis Center for the Food and Agriculture Sector

The food and agriculture sector is the only U.S. critical infrastructure without a threat Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC)
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
February 6, 2023

An increasingly critical element of food safety and defense planning is assurance of data integrity—the ability to keep data unchanged as it is communicated or stored. Information that is used for decision-making or reporting cannot be compromised, altered, or manipulated by unauthorized users. Threat information is best shared through the establishment and voluntary participation of an Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC). Food and agriculture is the only sector that lacks an ISAC. With security threats against the sector increasing and cyber threats against the global supply system also on the rise, it is imperative that a food and agriculture ISAC be formed.

COVID-19, the Food Supply, and Cybersecurity: Coalescing Concerns

COVID-19 dramatically disrupted the food supply, but we must be prepared to tackle new kinds of disruptions in the future.
Robert A. Norton Ph.D. Joseph McGarvey Ph.D., C.I.S.S.P. Marcus (Marc) Sachs P.E.
February 16, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically disrupted the food supply. This article seeks to explain the transcendent lessons of this national emergency, with the hope that being aware of them will help national decision-makers better prepare for next time. Our food systems, like the larger supply chain, will be challenged in the future with new kinds of disruptions, making it essential that mistakes are not repeated and that proactive, correct solutions are discovered and preparations made now.
