The American Institute of Constructors (AIC) is partnering with Visory for an informative webinar, “The True Cost of Cybersecurity Threats in Construction.” We invite you to sign up for the webinar on Thursday, October 10th at 12:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m. CST).

We partnered with Visory – a hands-on technology and cybersecurity partner that works with construction companies to strengthen their security posture – to provide guidance on construction cybersecurity risks often overlooked in construction management.

Construction companies know the importance of assessing the cost of a construction project before any work begins. Cost factors like materials, labor, supplies, and machinery quickly come to mind. In today’s digital age, the cost of cybersecurity risk is just as important to consider.

With so many construction documents sent back and forth, various trades involved in projects, funds transferred between parties, and multiple pieces of software in play, there can be cybersecurity vulnerabilities in any project.

AIC wants to educate our members and the larger construction industry about potential technology risks. Learn more about what we will cover in the webinar, who is involved, and why you should attend this webinar.

Details on the Construction Cybersecurity Risks Webinar

Construction companies must consider various factors to effectively address cybersecurity risks and ensure they are fully covered.

During the webinar, Visory will deliver valuable information from the perspectives of technology and insurance (brokerage & wholesale) to provide your company with a complete picture of what’s happening in the industry. You will also hear real-world stories about the effects of security risks on construction projects.

What Will Be Discussed During the Webinar

AIC and Visory share the same passion for providing educational resources to the construction industry. We will cover the following topics to ensure you receive the most value from this webinar.

Why Attend the Webinar

Visory is on a continuous campaign to bring cybersecurity awareness to the construction industry. The team at Visory can help AIC members stay ahead of the curve in technology and cybersecurity, allowing you to prevent problems and enable revenue.

Ultimately, Visory and AIC want to provide the latest information to AIC members about how your company can get ahead of cybersecurity threats. The industry can be slow to adopt best practices for the latest technology, so we are working together to help constructors understand the risks, potential pitfalls, and available opportunities to strengthen security.

Constructors will walk away from the webinar with a roadmap of where to start, the next steps, and how to relay information back to your company to spark conversations. Then, your company will be more aware of how to incorporate cybersecurity costs into project budgets to support operations.
