On the Issue of Reducing the Number of Emergencies in the Technological Systems of Agro-Industrial Complexes

Relevance. The developed agriculture of Russia is the key to the food security of the country as a whole and of each of its regions individually. At the same time, agro-industrial complex are strategically important industries in the state, since large agricultural holdings are currently the main suppliers of food to the population in our country. Cyber attacks on farm facilities are especially dangerous, as interference and hacking of high-tech equipment and software directly leads to disruptions in the work of agriculture and agriculture. An object. The object of research is the technological systems of the agro-industrial complex. Materials and methods. The results of the study analyzed the consequences of cyber attacks, identified vulnerabilities and "hacked" protective measures at agricultural facilities in our country. The methods of generalization, processing and analysis of statistical data on emergency situations, the causes of which were cyber attacks, were used. Scientific research methods focused on comparative analysis, which revealed the relevance and problems of modern cybercrime threats in the agro-industrial complex (AIC) and systematization, which allowed to formulate conclusions and proposals for the prevention of cyber attacks on agricultural facilities of the economy, taking into account current trends in the development of IT technologies. Results and conclusions. Studies have established typical vulnerabilities of computer networks, such as the use of outdated systems, insufficient network segmentation and weak authentication measures to ensure the safety of technologies and occupational safety in mechanized agro-industrial production. The reasons for successful hacker "hacks" are analyzed, which include insufficient awareness of risks, lack of a monitoring system and timely response. The results of the study necessitate the constant development of methods and strategies for ensuring information security at agricultural production facilities.
