Cyberbiosecurity Research and Education
Research and education at the intersection of digital technology and biological systems in agriculture and biotechnology.
Research and education at the intersection of digital technology and biological systems in agriculture and biotechnology.
TIIAS addresses the evolving complexities that emerge as agricultural and biotechnology systems become more interconnected and digitally integrated. We bridge the growing intersection of digital technology with biological systems across agricultural operations and biotechnology research, fostering collaborative education that strengthens food system and biotechnology innovation resilience worldwide.
The International Institute for Agriculture Security (TIIAS) addresses the evolving complexities that emerge as agricultural and biotechnology systems become more interconnected and digitally integrated. As agricultural operations increasingly rely on precision farming technologies, IoT sensors, automated systems, and AI-driven processes, while biotechnology companies develop genetic research databases, laboratory automation systems, and biological data management platforms, they create new interdependencies that require specialized understanding and management approaches.
TIIAS fills this knowledge gap by serving as a nonprofit organization dedicated to cyberbiosecurity education and research across the full agricultural and biotechnology ecosystem.
We translate complex system interactions into actionable knowledge for farmers, agricultural biotechnology companies, genomics researchers, food processing facilities, government agencies, and international organizations. Our mission extends beyond awareness to building genuine resilience through systematic frameworks that address the unique characteristics of both agricultural operations and biotechnology research environments.
Unlike traditional agricultural organizations or conventional cybersecurity firms, TIIAS operates specifically at the convergence point where digital systems intersect with biological processes across both agricultural operations and biotechnology research facilities.
TIIAS develops specialized research focused on cyberbiosecurity challenges across agricultural and biotechnology contexts. Our research capabilities center on systematic analysis using our proprietary frameworks, with findings intended for sharing through publications and educational materials that advance understanding of cyber-biological system interactions.
TIIAS seeks to build strategic partnerships with universities, organizations, and agencies interested in expanding cyberbiosecurity education and research. Our specialized frameworks provide the foundation for collaborative opportunities aimed at strengthening system resilience across agricultural and biotechnology communities.
Through partnerships with specialized consulting firms, TIIAS can connect organizations with cyberbiosecurity implementation services when educational programs identify technical needs. This collaboration model ensures that workshop participants have pathways to expert support for implementing the frameworks and concepts from our programs.
The Integrated Cyberbiosecurity Intelligence Framework (ICIF) provides systematic methodology for assessing threats across cyber-biological systems. ICIF enables intelligence gathering, system modeling, and risk assessment for integrated agricultural and biotechnology operations.
The Convergent Analysis Framework for Cyberbiosecurity (CAFC) offers systematic analysis of how digital system changes affect biological processes. CAFC helps organizations understand convergent risks across crop production, livestock management, laboratory research, and biotechnology manufacturing.
The Dynamic Security Threat Management - Network (DSTM-N) framework provides supporting capabilities that integrate with both ICIF and CAFC. DSTM-N adds real-time monitoring and network analysis for comprehensive system oversight.
Our CAFC + DSTM-N workshop provides hands-on training in systematic analysis of cyberbiosecurity challenges. Participants learn to identify how digital system changes can affect biological processes while understanding network-wide implications across agricultural and biotechnology contexts.
Our ICIF + DSTM-N workshop teaches comprehensive intelligence gathering and assessment methodologies. Participants develop skills in information collection, system modeling, and risk assessment for cyber-biological convergence points in both agricultural operations and biotechnology environments.
Our nonprofit structure enables mission-driven education and research that benefits the entire agricultural biotechnology ecosystem. We build relationships based on shared commitment to strengthening system resilience rather than commercial objectives.
TIIAS conducts specialized research on agricultural cybersecurity and biotechnology system resilience. Our findings are shared through publications, presentations, and educational materials that advance cyberbiosecurity understanding.
TIIAS seeks strategic partnerships with universities, organizations, and agencies interested in advancing cyberbiosecurity education and research. We are building relationships that leverage our specialized frameworks while expanding the reach and impact of cyberbiosecurity knowledge across agricultural and biotechnology communities.

Cyberbiosecurity addresses the interdependencies between digital systems and biological processes in agricultural and biotechnology operations. Unlike traditional approaches that examine these systems separately, cyberbiosecurity recognizes that digital system changes can have direct biological consequences. For example, disruptions to automated milking systems affect animal health, while interference with biotechnology laboratory systems can impact research timelines and data integrity.
TIIAS workshops provide systematic frameworks for understanding interdependencies across digital, biological, and operational domains. Participants learn to conduct integrated assessments that reveal connections traditional approaches might overlook, whether in precision agriculture, biotechnology laboratories, or food processing facilities. They develop practical skills for managing interconnected systems and report improved ability to identify relationships, make effective technology investments, and coordinate across teams.
TIIAS specifically addresses digital-biological system integration across agricultural operations and biotechnology research environments. Our methods account for distinctive characteristics like seasonal variations, biological considerations from livestock health to cell culture maintenance, and geographic distribution from farm networks to laboratory collaborations. This specialized focus enables insights and solutions that general system management training cannot offer.
TIIAS welcomes participation from agricultural operations, biotechnology companies, research facilities, government agencies, academic institutions, and international partners. We offer multiple engagement levels, from workshop attendance to research collaboration to partnership development. Organizations interested in our programs can contact us to discuss how TIIAS can address their specific cyberbiosecurity challenges.
