Four Key Steps to Securing the Construction Industry

General News

Summary

In a recent Industry Today article, WatchGuard CTO Corey Nachreiner explored the topic, noting that despite nearly half of all construction executives worrying their firms are vulnerable to threats, the majority of them have no cybersecurity plans in place. Critical IT resources such as smart devices, routers, computers with CADD and blueprint software, Wi-Fi hotspots and so on are all housed in the base of operations at job sites. Due to the inherently temporary nature of construction projects, this IT infrastructure is often less protected than similar setups would be in a traditional office setting. Deploy firewalls, patch software regularly, back up your data frequently, enable core network security services and endpoint protections, etc. And subscribe to Secplicity today to receive the latest information security news, analysis and best practices directly to your inbox.
