Real-World Cybersecurity in Construction

Cybersecurity professionals offer fantastic seminars and great ideas; construction financial professionals return to the office excited about what they’ve learned. Then boom — it’s outside the budget or there isn’t owner buy-in.

Cybersecurity is not one-size-fits-all; it differs from industry to industry and even from one segment of construction to another.

From the contractor’s perspective, this session addresses your company’s cybersecurity needs as well as internal and external risks, real-life situations and solutions, accounting controls, staff size, and owner buy-in.

After this session, you will be able to:

  • Uncover why the construction industry is ripe for cyberattacks and what can be done to minimize risk
  • Recognize the different types of cyber threats and how to minimize them
  • See how various controls can be put in place even if your company is too small to have a true separation of duties
  • Explore banking services that can help minimize risk and how such services could work within your company
  • Identify questions that every owner should be asking their agent about cyber coverage
