Cybersecurity has never been more disruptive, as the number of cyberattacks on companies increases and the potential damage and disruption caused grows exponentially. The threat of cyberattacks is growing in line with increased connectivity between physical and digital systems. Lower barriers to entry for cyberthreat actors, more aggressive attack methods, a lack of cybersecurity professionals, and patchwork risk management mechanisms have aggravated the risk for all construction companies.

Global security revenues will reach $198 billion by 2025. In the construction sector, security revenues will reach $8.4 billion by 2025. This growth is driven by fraud prevention and transactional security, security intelligence and management, and endpoint security platforms. The largest revenues are accounted for by managed security services, which will grow to almost $2.6 billion in 2025.

This thematic report takes an in-depth look at look at the growing need for cybersecurity in the construction sector and how the threat landscape is being addressed.

This report provides a detailed analysis of cybersecurity in the construction industry.

The construction sector faces many challenges that lead to cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Construction projects are increasingly complex with greater collaboration between stakeholders. Diversified supply chains lead to many third parties with access to valuable intellectual property and sensitive data. Construction companies are also being targeted due to their increasing digitalization and usage of building information modeling (BIM), the internet of things (IoT), and drones, while only giving a cursory nod to cybersecurity measures during adoption.

Companies should invest in cybersecurity measures across all stages of a construction project, from design to operations, as an attack can occur at any stage. In particular, managed security services are vital to ensure coherent and adaptable measures. Good cybersecurity is also a part of strong ESG credentials, as it is a vital aspect of risk management. Construction companies should view cybersecurity on an equal footing with physical security and ensure Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) are on company boards. This will also help companies navigate increasing regulatory scrutiny.
