Sector Adoption Program (SAP): Agri-Food Cybersecurity Solutions

Eligibility: 

Universities may under this initiative as a "primary partners" (as clients only).

How to Apply: 
In recent years, experts have warned that with the ever-increasing use of technology in the Agri-Food supply chain there is a mounting vulnerability to cybersecurity attacks.  A successful attack could lead to a disruption in both food production and processing – impacting both supply and pricing. Despite these warnings, there is generally a lack of robust cybersecurity measures in place in the Agri-Food sector.   
 
Considering this increasing risk, the Critical Industrial Technologies (CIT) initiative is supporting Ontario-led company consortia in the development and implementation of innovative solutions to address the cybersecurity threat to Ontario’s Agri-Food Sector.    
 
The cybersecurity solutions developed and demonstrated through this challenge statement must be capable of widespread implementation and adoption throughout a multitude of businesses to have a significant impact on securing Ontario’s Agri-Food supply chain.   
 
The Critical Technology Initiative is looking for novel, innovative solutions specifically applicable to the Agri-food sector that are easily adopted and readily scalable. Solutions may include, but are not limited to, Software as a Service offerings for smaller producers with limited IT resources, enterprise applications for large processors or securing the everincreasing number of IoT devices throughout the Agri-Food supply chain.   
 
This is a unique opportunity for companies to receive funding support to develop, demonstrate and drive the adoption of their innovative cybersecurity solutions across the Agri-Food sector to help ensure the future stability of Ontario’s food supply.
