Construction & AEC Cybersecurity
Protect BIM data, project files, and subcontractor networks from ransomware, wire fraud, and data theft. Cybersecurity built for construction and AEC firms in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Why Construction Firms Are Under Attack
The construction and AEC industry has become a prime target for cybercriminals. Large project values, frequent wire transfers, complex subcontractor networks, and historically low investment in IT security create an attractive attack surface. In the DFW metroplex — one of the nation’s largest construction markets — firms managing multi-million dollar projects are increasingly targeted by ransomware, business email compromise, and data theft.
BIM (Building Information Modeling) files, architectural blueprints, bid proposals, and project schedules contain proprietary data worth millions. Threat actors steal this data for competitive intelligence or encrypt it with ransomware, knowing that project delays cost construction firms tens of thousands per day. Business email compromise targeting wire transfers is especially devastating — attackers impersonate general contractors, architects, or project owners to redirect payment to fraudulent accounts.
The distributed nature of construction operations amplifies risk. Workers connect from job sites using personal devices, subcontractors need access to shared project platforms, and field offices often lack enterprise-grade network security. Every connection point is a potential entry for attackers. Without proper access controls and monitoring, a compromised subcontractor credential can expose an entire project ecosystem.

Unique Security Challenges in Construction
BIM & Project Data
BIM models, CAD drawings, and project specifications contain proprietary designs worth millions. Unauthorized access enables corporate espionage, bid manipulation, and intellectual property theft.
Subcontractor Access
Dozens of subcontractors, architects, and engineers need access to shared platforms. Each connection is a potential attack vector — one compromised subcontractor can expose the entire project.
Wire Transfer Fraud
Large, frequent wire transfers between GCs, subs, and suppliers make construction firms prime targets for BEC scams. Attackers redirect payments by impersonating project stakeholders.
