Iowa is pleased to present a cybersecurity webinar as part of the Annie’s Project 20th Anniversary celebration. In 2004, the very first Annie’s Project courses in Iowa were taught with computer lab access and introduced financial software and other new computer concepts. Nineteen years and 127 Annie’s Project courses later, the Iowa farm management team is still introducing new computer concepts. Our newest lesson is on staying financially secure in the world of cyber.
With increased reliance on sharing personal data through a variety of online platforms, farm and agricultural business managers are asking how their data is being protected by other businesses and how they can secure their own data.
In this webinar, we’ll take you through some practical steps and best practices you can apply to prepare for cybersecurity threats. You’ll increase your cybersecurity literacy and gain skills to proactively manage your cyber ecosystem to reduce the risk of economic losses. We’ll show you how you can reduce the risk of production disruptions, lost or mismanaged decision-making data, identity theft, malware attacks, and physical system failures.
Presenters: Madeline Schultz, Women in Ag Program Manager; and Alexis Stevens, Farm Management Specialist; at Iowa State University Extension and Outreach
