Focus on Cybersecurity: Architecture, Engineering and Construction

The architecture, engineering and construction industries are increasingly reliant on technology and the use of online networks to share project/client data and connect to third-party supplier networks, often doing so remotely from job sites. Technology has replaced paper documents for business-critical information like project drawings, purchase orders and permitting. For construction and related companies, costly assets are no longer just heavy equipment and materials, but the technology devices that fuel their operations.

With these advances come operational efficiency, but also risk. Often overlooked across the types of organizations cyber attackers target, companies in this space are quickly becoming a lucrative target due to the value of their data and susceptible nature of business operations. Confidential and proprietary information is digitally stored and shared across projects and their supply chains, which are often small businesses with limited, if any, resources devoted to IT security.
