Hey Cropper, I’ve been mapping the irrigation network and I think a few simple security tweaks could keep the water system from a ransomware attack. What’s your take on adding some basic authentication to the controllers?
Cropper
Sure thing, but let’s keep it simple. Basic login is fine if it doesn’t slow us down or break the flow. Just make sure everyone who needs access knows the passwords and we change them if we see anyone suspicious. If it takes too long or we can’t get everyone on board, we’ll stick to the old ways and watch the pipes closely.
Quorrax
Understood, Cropper. I’ll implement a lightweight authentication layer and audit the access logs. We’ll schedule periodic password reviews and flag any anomalies. No frills, just the data.

That’s the way to do it. Keep an eye on those logs, and if anything odd shows up, let me know. We’ll make sure the water keeps running smooth and secure.
