Abstract

IoT, Big-data, AI, and Cloud technologies, which are core technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution, have recently been applied to various fields and are being used as core technologies for new growth engines. Accordingly, these core technologies are applied to the agricultural field without exception, contributing to solving the problem of labor shortage, reducing production costs, and reducing environmental burden through remote and automated production without time and space constraints. However, as these core technologies are utilized, security incidents are occurring in the agricultural field as well. Accordingly, this study divides smart farms into three stages(Basic, Middle, and High) and presents the characteristics and security threats of each stage. In particular, as the number of container-based services and research increases under cloud platforms, we would like to suggest countermeasures focusing on security threats.

4차 산업혁명의 핵심 기술인 IoT, Big-data, AI, Cloud 기술들이 최근 다양한 분야에서 신성장 동력의 핵심 기반 기술로 활용되고 있다. 이에 농업 분야에도 예외 없이 이러한 핵심 기술들이 적용되어 시공간의 제약 없이 원격 및 생산의 자동화를 통해 농업 분야의 문제점인 노동력 부족 현상 해결, 생산비 절감, 환경 부담 절감 등에 기여하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 핵심 기술을 활용함에 따라 농업 분야에도 보안 사고 사례가 발생하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 스마트 팜을 기초, 중간, 고도의 3단계로 구분하여 단계별 특성, 보안 위협 및 대응 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 특히 클라우드 플랫폼하에서 컨테이너 기반 다양한 서비스 및 연구가 증대됨에 따라 이에 대한 보안 위협을 중심으로 대응 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
