The Ransomware Threat to Construction

Ransomware Attacks Surging in Construction

Sensitive project data, financial records, architectural drawings, and proprietary information are prime targets—attackers know you'll pay to avoid project delays.

Subcontractors & Field Devices Create Exposure

Reliance on subcontractors, field devices, mobile equipment, and email approvals increases phishing risk. Each vendor connection and jobsite device is a potential entry point.

Jobsite Downtime Halts Projects

When ransomware strikes, schedules stop. Data loss means missing drawings, lost bid documents, and broken supply chain communications—damaging relationships and revenue.

Limited IT Resources

Most construction firms don’t have dedicated IT security staff. Protecting office systems and field sites requires specialized expertise you don’t have in-house.

Double Extortion Threats

Modern ransomware doesn’t just encrypt—it exfiltrates. Attackers threaten to publish project data, financial records, and legal documents if you don’t pay.

Reputation & Revenue at Risk

Your clients depend on timelines and trust. A breach can cost bids, delay inspections, and trigger contractual headaches.

How Attackers Target Construction Firms

Spearphishing Project Managers & Executives

Emails impersonating clients, architects, or subcontractors requesting urgent reviews or approvals. One click can compromise your network.

Compromised Vendor Emails

Attackers hijack vendor accounts and send invoices with “updated” payment instructions—accounting pays the attacker thinking it’s trusted.

Malicious Document Attachments

Fake bid docs, RFPs, change orders, or specs with embedded malware—opened by field staff and PMs as “normal” files.

Double Extortion Demands

Data encrypted and stolen. Even with backups, attackers threaten to leak project details, client info, or financial records.

Supply Chain Attacks

Compromise through subcontractors, equipment vendors, or software suppliers—someone else’s gap becomes your breach.

Remote Access Weak Spots

Unsecured VPN/RDP, shared passwords, or missing MFA lets attackers walk in like a “legit” user.

How HD Tech Protects Construction Firms

We don't just prevent attacks—we prepare you to survive them. Because in today's threat landscape, it's not "if"... it's "when."

Right-of-Boom Model

We assume an attack will happen and design recovery to avoid paying ransom: tested plans, offline backups, rapid restore.

Multi-Layered Security

Fortinet firewalls, endpoint protection, and email security across HQ and jobsites—defense in depth at every access point.

Offline, Tested Backups

Immutable, air-gapped backups for project files, drawings, financial data, and business systems—with regular restore tests.

Rapid Restore Without Paying Ransom

Restoring data and getting clients operational in hours, not days—so projects keep moving.

Employee Training for Construction

Awareness training tailored to field workflows—relevant for PMs, supers, and office staff (not generic corporate slides).

Network Segmentation

Separate jobsite networks from corporate systems; isolate field devices from financial systems so one tablet can’t sink the company.

What's Included in Your Ransomware Defense

24/7 Monitoring & Incident Response

Round-the-clock SOC monitoring for ransomware indicators—with immediate response before encryption spreads.

Advanced Email Security

Stops phishing, BEC, and malicious attachments—tuned for construction threats like fake bid docs and vendor impersonation.

Endpoint Protection & Detection

Next-gen AV + EDR on office computers, field laptops, tablets, and mobile devices—real-time blocking and visibility.

Secure File Sharing & Collaboration

Encrypted platforms for drawings/specs with clients and subcontractors—no more unsecured email attachments.

Access Controls & Multi-Factor Authentication

Limit sensitive access and require MFA for remote access and financial systems—reducing takeover risk.

Vendor Security Assessment

Evaluate subcontractor cybersecurity practices so your supply chain doesn’t become the weakest link.
