Threat Landscape

The Threats Targeting Construction

Understanding the specific cyber threats facing your industry is the first step to effective defense.

Wire Fraud & Payment Diversion

Attackers intercept payment requests and redirect funds to fraudulent accounts. High-value construction payments make every wire transfer a potential target.

Ransomware Targeting Project Data

Encrypted project files halt operations, delay timelines, and jeopardize contracts. BIM models and schedules held hostage can cascade into costly delays.

Subcontractor & Vendor Compromise

Dozens of subcontractors with varying security maturity access project systems. Each vendor represents a potential entry point into your network.

Operational Security

Securing Construction Operations

Construction cybersecurity requires protecting distributed operations across multiple job sites, mobile workforces, and extensive subcontractor networks.

Distributed Job Site Security

Temporary networks at construction sites. Mobile devices and tablets in the field. Limited IT support at remote locations.

Virtus Approach

Secure remote access and endpoint protection for field operations

Subcontractor Risk Management

Multiple vendors accessing project systems. Varying security standards among subs. Shared access to BIM and project management.

Virtus Approach

Vendor security assessments and access segmentation

Project Data Protection

BIM models contain valuable design data. Bid information and pricing sensitive. Long project timelines increase exposure.

Virtus Approach

Data classification and access controls for project systems
