This presentation will delve into how these intertwined disciplines impact our everyday lives—from the food we consume to the healthcare services we depend on.

Did you know?

In 2024, there were at least 386 hospital ransomware attacks in the US alone? Or that there were 2400 ransomware attacks on agricultural linked businesses in the same time frame?
