Cyber breaches are big news. Large corporations get hacked with alarming frequency, and hundreds of thousands of consumers are vulnerable. You may not think your architectural, engineering or contracting firm is at risk, but that is simply not the case.

Building information modelling (BIM) and computer-aided design (CAD) are in widespread use. These tools, while they improve efficiency and quality, also increase the risk of a cyber-attack. There have been well-publicized cyber-attacks on solar panel installation contractors, HVAC contractors, manufacturers and retailers of building products, fence contractors, and many other firms across the industry.
