Everything is connected to security

Summary: Cisco Talos' Joe presented on cybersecurity at the 32nd Crop Insurance Conference hosted by North Dakota State University in Fargo, noting that agriculture and adjacent industries are roughly 6 percent of U.S. GDP and about 10 percent of all U.S. jobs. The newsletter also covers proxy chains used by adversaries since VPNFilter in 2018, warning that attacks can come from the same IP space employees use for VPNs.

Why it matters: Agriculture is described as deeply underserved on cybersecurity in both general literacy and investment, even as the trillions of dollars it generates draw cyber-crime-motivated actors and nation-states seeking to degrade it.
