Coffee Cyber Talk: Why Cybercriminals Target Construction and How to Stay Safe

The construction industry is increasingly becoming a target for cybercriminals, yet many companies are unaware of the vulnerabilities in their systems. You are invited to hear from Andrew Nelson of BlueArmor, a cybersecurity expert, who will address this critical issue and provide practical solutions for protecting your business.

Why You Should Attend:
Cybersecurity often takes a backseat in construction, but digital vulnerabilities can pose serious risks:
–Project Disruptions: Hackers can manipulate schedules or encrypt/delete project files all together, causing costly delays.
–Data Exploitation: Unauthorized access to CAD drawings or bidding processes can cost you your next big project.
–Weak Points: Project management offices, mobile communications, and insecure email access are common entry points for attacks.

Andrew will dive into key questions, such as:
-Why are construction companies targeted more than other industries?
-What tactics are cybercriminals using today?
-How can you best protect your company and employees?
