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.
