Ransomware Attacks the Construction Industry
Written: November 2023
In the constantly evolving construction industry, technology is playing an increasingly important role. However, along with the benefits of technology, there’s also a growing concern about the risk of cyberattacks.
This post focuses on the specific vulnerabilities that construction businesses face and provides insights on how to protect your operations.
Vulnerabilities in the Construction Industry:
The construction sector is vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the continued use of older systems and insufficient cybersecurity measures. Despite implementing strong preventive measures, businesses are still at risk of malicious cyber events, with ransomware being a major threat. Ransomware infiltrates systems through different methods, encrypts data and demands a ransom from its victims. Surprisingly, recent analysis has shown that between January 2022 and January 2023, the construction industry was the primary target for such attacks.
Types of Ransomware Threats:
There are various types of ransomware threats that could impact your construction business:
Cloud vulnerabilities. Cloud software and applications can be targeted by cyberattacks. Weaknesses in individual devices or cloud accounts make them susceptible to unauthorized access.
Targeting software supply chains and managed service providers. Cybercriminals may exploit software supply chains and managed service providers to gain access to multiple organizations through a single attack.
Disruptions in industrial and infrastructure processes. This can occur due to the actions of certain ransomware groups, which presents a significant threat.
Cybercriminals often choose strategic moments to launch their attacks. These moments usually are on days where the IT personnel may be less available, such as weekends or holidays. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain constant vigilance.
Tips for Preventing Ransomware Attacks:
Take proactive measures to safeguard your business against ransomware and other cyber threats by considering the following strategies:
1. Keep your systems and software updated regularly by applying patches.
2. Provide comprehensive training to employees on best practices for cybersecurity.
3. Exercise caution when handling email attachments and clicking on links.
4. Implement preventive software that can detect and mitigate potential threats.
5. Frequently back up important data on separate devices to minimize the impact of a ransomware attack.
We Will Help You Remain Vigilant!
Cybercriminals are highly organized and well-funded, constantly adapting their techniques. It is essential for your construction organization’s security that you stay informed about the latest ransomware methods. If you need industry specific guidance, feel free to contact us without hesitation.
Let our over 40 years of experience in your industry help you remain vigilant in protecting your business from cyber threats as the safety of your data and operations depends on it.
