THE TOPIC

The Changing Threat Landscape within Construction

Technology companies, among others, are largely the focus of cybercriminals and, consequently, national headlines. Their treasure troves of sensitive user (personally identifiable, financial, or medical) data often drive audiences to overlook another sector under attack: construction.

A recent ransomware incident at an Ontario-based construction firm is a glaring reminder that no one is truly safe against cybercrime. It begs the question of how decision-makers are adapting to the current situation and preparing for the future of their industry.

What are the top security challenges that construction companies face?
How can construction leaders balance accelerated technology adoption with a growing attack surface?
What role does security play in helping develop strategic construction partnerships?
