As the construction industry adopts new digital technologies, cybersecurity risks are increasing. Hackers have shown interest in stealing valuable construction plans and designs. The average cost of a data breach has risen to $3.8 million. Construction companies must take steps to protect sensitive customer and project data stored in-house or in the cloud, as a single lost device can compromise security. Strategies like restricting access to authorized users and classifying data by sensitivity can help meet risks to confidentiality, availability and integrity of information online or in the cloud.
