Central Valley Ag Participates in Cyber Tatanka Event

In June, Central Valley Ag (CVA) technology team members participated in the inaugural Cyber Tatanka Event, a two-week intensive cybersecurity training exercise led by the Nebraska National Guard in partnership with various civilian organizations.

The event offered participants real-world, hands-on experience in defending against cyberattacks, aiming to enhance their ability to respond to cyber incidents. As cyber threats continue to escalate, it's imperative for businesses and government entities to fortify their defenses.

“We want to ensure we know how to keep both our members and our employees data secure.” said Doug Clingman, Chief Technology Officer at CVA. “Technology is ever changing, and we need to do everything we can to stay diligent in our protection efforts.”

Ten civilian organizations from diverse sectors, including healthcare, energy, and agriculture, joined the training alongside representatives from six countries and six states. Each organization brought a unique perspective to the table, which provided not only insight into other industries, but created an opportunity for networking and collaboration.

“This was a valuable opportunity for CVA and our team to practice high-stakes scenarios and learn from other organizations, including the military,” said Clingman.

Central Valley Ag remains committed to lifelong learning, inspiring employees to seek opportunities for skill development and knowledge acquisition.
