DHS has released a report to address cybersecurity threats to new precision agriculture technologies used in crop and 
livestock production. Precision agriculture employs a variety of embedded and connected technologies to generate data 
used to enhance agricultural and livestock management. As adoption of precision agriculture technology has increased, 
vulnerabilities and cyber threat issues have emerged. An attacker could exploit precision agriculture vulnerabilities 
to access sensitive data, steal resources, and destroy equipment.

NCCIC recommends users and administrators review the DHS report on Threats to Precision Agriculture [ 
https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/2018%20AEP_Threats_to_Precision_Agriculture.pdf ] for more 
information and apply the recommended mitigations.
