The global use of digitalization in all spheres of the economy could not bypass agribusiness. Today, the digitalization index of agro-industrial complexes (AIC) is 23 conventional units, while the average index is 32 units in other sectors of the economy, which allows us to assert the strategic importance of agricultural activities for the national economy of Russian Federation, ensuring food security of the state. Interest in the introduction of digital technologies is observed among both large agribusinesses and representatives of medium and small businesses, including family farms that are developing startups in the field of production and processing of agricultural products. The process of digitalization in agriculture covers a wide range of innovative solutions, including not only big data analytics and robotics, but also automation of accounting functions and business process management. In addition, it is worth noting the increasing focus on modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and e-commerce, which are creating new perspectives for the agricultural sector. Thus, digital transformation is a significant tool for improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex in a dynamically changing market. The transition to digitalization in agribusiness involves compliance with the requirements of the legislation of Russian Federation, ISO 450001 and integrated digital cases. Despite the development of digitalization in agriculture, the use of such technologies requires a comprehensive risk assessment and the development of legal solutions in connection with cybersecurity threats associated with the activities of hackers and the negative consequences of unauthorized access to technology and confidential data. Such actions of attackers potentially threaten the products produced by agrarians, the production activities of agribusiness entities, their business reputation and competitiveness, and, therefore, require improvement of the current legislation.
