“…Although some confidential data leakage incidents in a farm can be due to farmworkers' negligence or lack of action, in some cases, a data breach may take place intentionally by farm staff. Such incidents are referred to as insider attacks (Bae et al, 2011). In this type of attack, a disgruntled staff can sell confidential data to make a profit or disseminate data to cause harm.…”

The growth in the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Artificial intelligence (AI) has improved the productivity and efficiency of modern agriculture, which is commonly referred to as precision farming. Precision farming solutions are dependent on collecting a large amount of data from farms. Despite the many advantages of precision farming, security threats are a major challenge that is continuously on the rise and can harm various stakeholders in the agricultural system. These security issues may result in security breaches that could lead to unauthorized access to farmers' confidential data, identity theft, reputation loss, financial loss, or disruption to the food supply chain. Security breaches can occur because of an intentional or unintentional actions or incidents. Research suggests that humans play a key role in causing security breaches due to errors or system vulnerabilities. Farming is no different from other sectors. There is a growing need to protect data and IT assets on farms by raising awareness, promoting security best practices and standards, and embedding security practices into the systems. This paper provides recommendations for farmers on how they can mitigate potential security threats in precision farming. These recommendations are categorized into human-centric solutions, technology-based solutions, and physical aspect solutions. The paper also provides recommendations for Agriculture Technology Providers (ATPs) on best practices that can mitigate security risks.
