In this episode of the Bites and Bytes Podcast, host Kristin Demoranville welcomes George Kamide, co-host of the Bare Knuckles & Brass Tacks podcast, Head of Community at The CISO Society, and Co-Founder of Mind Over Cyber.  George brings his expertise in both cybersecurity and anthropology to the conversation, discussing the cultural, human, and technological factors shaping the global food supply chain.  Together, they examine how cybersecurity intersects with agriculture, the vulnerabilities within our food systems, and the importance of protecting this critical infrastructure.

If you're interested in the connections between cybersecurity, food security, and technology, this episode is packed with valuable insights into securing the systems that sustain us.
