SAN JOSE, CA - Beyond being the month for tricks, treats, and Halloween, October is also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and ZAG Technical Services® is sharing a helpful infographic with tips to keep agribusinesses from experiencing unwanted spooks and scares.

“The question isn’t if, but when your company will be the target of a cyberattack,” shared Greg Gatzke, Chief Executive Officer of ZAG. “We’ve seen this industry deliberately targeted at its most vulnerable times, and we want to share information that improves business continuity and food supply chain reliability.”

In 2022, data breaches impacted 422.1 million users, a release stated. ZAG’s infographic features helpful ways to protect the agribusiness industry if one of these attacks happens.

The graphic contains five simple ways to keep your systems and data safe, including the one simple step you can implement today that protects nearly 100 percent of attempted breaches. Also included are useful dos and don’ts of safe online interactions to help users stay safe online.

“If there is one tip I hope sticks with readers, it is the effectiveness and importance of multifactor authentication,” Gatzke added. “As email and app users ourselves, we understand, but MFA prevents nearly 100 percent of breach attempts and is the single-best first line of defense to keep users safe online.”
