This study investigates the impact of cyberterrorism on the global food
supply chain, specifically focusing on the security of grain storage
facilities. Drawing from recent geopolitical events that have disrupted
grain supply, the paper underscores the potential global consequences of
targeted cyber attacks. The research involves a thorough review of grain
storage technologies and their associated security vulnerabilities,
supported by existing literature and case studies. Findings reveal
significant security gaps in grain storage systems, such as centralized
control systems and inadequate security protocols. The study not only
offers actionable recommendations for enhancing supply chain resilience
but also informs policy development aimed at safeguarding critical
infrastructure. The research is pivotal for academics, industry
stakeholders, and policy makers concerned with food security in the
digital age.
