SDSU Extension to Host Ag Cybersecurity Workshop

Nov 05, 2025

South Dakota State University Extension will host an agriculture cybersecurity workshop and public seminar to highlight results from three collaborative research projects between SDSU and Dakota State University.

Learn how data is secured as it is transferred from monitoring instruments to the cloud and how artificial intelligence is used to detect crop anomalies for precision management. Faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students interested in learning more about agriculture cybersecurity related to precision agriculture are especially encouraged to attend.

The workshop is from noon to 5 p.m. on Nov. 12, 2025, at McCrory Gardens in Brookings, with a mixer and networking dinner from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Registration is required, and tickets are $50 per person. To register, visit the SDSU Extension Events page and search “cybersecurity”.
