About the Cyber Risk Training

Cybersecurity is not an “emerging” threat. Each year, over 8.4 million small businesses close their doors due to the extensive costs associated with each cyber incident which averages well over $120k.  Often in the construction business, owners and executives feel they have nothing hackers want.  In reality, hackers penetrate construction companies seeking mission critical data such as proprietary designs and blueprints, construction estimates, confidential employee data and even contracts.

in 2016, ransom attacks in the construction industry increased by 400 percent.  Not having a plan of attack can lead to a loss in revenue due to breaches or downtime, negative reputation or potential business closure.  The penalties are steep and require a proactive strategy leading into 2019.

Construction leaders must stop worrying and ignoring the daily cyber threats they are facing.  It is time to stop being a Cyber Worrier and to become a Cyber Warrior.
