Construction had another rough year in 2023 dealing with cybercrime. According to a study by encryption software firm NordLocker, construction ranked as the top industry target for cyberattacks in two of the past three years. ![]()

On average a Canadian business sees 40 cyber-attacks each year. When cyberattacks like data breaches and hacks occur, they can result in devastating damage.
