| contents | As various technologies are integrated and implemented into the food and agricultural industry, it is increasingly important for stakeholders throughout the sector to identify and reduce cybersecurity vulnerabilities and risks associated with these technologies. However, numerous industry and government reports suggest that many farmers and agricultural equipment manufacturers do not fully understand the cyber threats posed by modern agricultural technologies, including CAN bus-driven farming equipment. This paper addresses this knowledge gap by attempting to quantify the cybersecurity risks associated with cyberattacks on farming equipment that utilize CAN bus technology. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it presents a hypothetical case study, using real-world data, to illustrate the specific and wider impacts of a cyberattack on a CAN bus-driven fertilizer applicator employed in row-crop farming. Second, it establishes a foundation for future research on quantifying cybersecurity risks related to agricultural machinery. |
