Synopsis

Cybersecurity strategies for food and agriculture critical infrastructure operations

Securing What Feeds Us: Cybersecurity in Food and Agriculture is the first book dedicated to cybersecurity threats facing the food and agriculture sector. Written by Kristin King, founder of AnzenSage, with over two decades spanning IT, OT/ICS, and cybersecurity, this book addresses insider sabotage, ransomware attacks on supply chains, and nation-state threats targeting production operations across farming, processing, transportation, and retail. Cyber incidents in food and agriculture carry consequences that extend beyond data loss to food safety, public health, environmental impact, and supply continuity.

The book covers cyber-physical systems security across the full food supply chain, from ag-tech and animal feed to distribution networks and retail operations. It connects food system vulnerabilities to interdependent critical infrastructure including water, energy, and logistics. Readers gain practical resilience strategies, real-world incident accounts from industry practitioners, and actionable steps for maintaining food safety and production continuity during cyber events ― along with a deeper understanding of how the global food supply chain actually functions and where it is most vulnerable.

Readers will also find:

• Coverage of OT and ICS security challenges specific to food processing plants and agricultural production environments
• Strategies for maintaining food safety, employee protection, and production continuity when cyber incidents disrupt operations
• Analysis of how cyberattacks on food systems cascade across water, energy, and logistics infrastructure
• Insights drawn from real practitioner experience and conversations across food and agriculture operations
• Frameworks for building cyber resilience tailored to the unique operational realities of the food sector

Written for anyone seeking to understand how our modern food supply works and what keeps it secure. Designed for food and agriculture professionals―farmers, processing plant managers, supply chain operators, and executives―it delivers sector-specific cybersecurity strategies grounded in operational realities. Cybersecurity practitioners serving the food sector will also gain critical context for protecting OT/ICS environments across farming, processing, and distribution operations.
