The construction industry is experiencing a digital renaissance. Design software, project management platforms, connected equipment, and drone inspections are all transforming how buildings are planned, built, and managed. However, this newfound reliance on technology comes with a hidden vulnerability – a gaping cybersecurity hole that could be exploited by malicious actors.
John Ridgeway warns that these vulnerabilities are no longer theoretical in his construction blog at Talk.Build. Recent headlines highlight ransomware attacks crippling construction giants, compromising entire project management systems. The consequences are dire: project delays, financial losses, reputational damage, and even physical safety risks. Despite these dangers, the importance of cybersecurity in construction remains surprisingly under-discussed.
