Episode Details

Today's farms rely on technology more than ever.

From grain dryers and irrigation pivots to livestock systems, security cameras, accounting software, and smartphones, nearly every part of a modern farming operation is connected.

That also makes agriculture one of the fastest-growing targets for cybercriminals.

Chris from Tech Support Farm returns to Farm4Profit to discuss how farms can better protect themselves from ransomware, phishing scams, compromised credit cards, malware, and attacks on connected equipment.

The conversation covers real-world examples—including Tanner's own experience with fraudulent credit card charges—and explains how remote monitoring, endpoint detection, password management, secure business email, mobile device management, and network monitoring work together to reduce risk.

The episode also explores:

• Business email security
• Password managers
• Public Wi-Fi risks
• Phishing scams
• Credit card fraud
• Remote monitoring
• Endpoint detection (EDR)
• Mobile device management
• Irrigation and grain dryer security
• Data backups
• Disaster recovery
• Cyber insurance
• Farm technology infrastructure
• AI and digital threats

Whether you operate a family farm or a multi-location business, this episode offers practical advice that could save your operation from significant financial loss and downtime.
