At last year’s TUG (The User Group) event, one of the breakout sessions was about cybersecurity for construction companies. Rather than attend the software-specific breakout for that slot, I decided to attend this one.
I was very surprised at how many around the table had experienced a breach and even paid a ransom! Many were willing to share the details of the events, and very much wanted to share how they added tools to avoid something like this from happening again! These were mostly Controllers and financial managers, so it was surprising to hear them say that every dollar they invest in cybersecurity is considered a return on investment (ROI). What if you experienced a phishing attack and all your data was encrypted? Investing in cybersecurity is a sound investment! – CMW
