Cybersecurity for Construction<\/h1>

Our Cybersecurity for Construction offers first-class protection for your critical data from wherever it is needed.

Cybersecurity challenges in Construction<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Due to its unique set-up and protocols, the construction industry faces a distinct set of cybersecurity challenges. From relying heavily on subcontractors and adopting a wide range of technology to storing and transferring valuable intellectual property and meeting frequently changing onsite connectivity requirements, there are many factors to consider when seeking to keep your business, network and data safe.<\/p>\n

A key cybersecurity concern in the construction industry is supply chain vulnerabilities. If your organisation regularly engages with suppliers and subcontractors, the risk of a cyber-attack increases. It is common for cybercriminals to target smaller firms with weaker cybersecurity measures and use their access to gain entry into larger construction companies.<\/p>\n

Human error is one of the primary cybersecurity risks. The more people with access to your data, particularly if they are unfamiliar with cybersecurity for construction best practices and may inadvertently fall victim to tactics such as phishing emails, the more vulnerable your business becomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

If your construction company has introduced more digital technology to improve efficiency and remain competitive, it is critical also to be aware of the cybersecurity risks these applications pose. For example, IoT devices, such as sensors, cameras, and drones that collect and analyse data, can be vulnerable to cyber-attacks and, if compromised, can provide access to the entire construction network.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Building Information Modelling (BIM) software can contain sensitive and valuable data, such as design plans, project timelines, and cost estimates, making them an attractive target for hackers.<\/p>\n

As a construction company working on developing sites, it is also essential to be aware of the cybersecurity risks of using mobile devices to access project data stored in the cloud and communicate with colleagues. These devices can be vulnerable to malware and other cyber threats, especially if they are not adequately secured.<\/p>\n

Hughes Network Systems Europe has extensive experience supporting multi-site organisations with their network and cybersecurity needs, and we have developed our Cybersecurity for Construction to address the unique challenges your industry faces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
