Construction cybersecurity for contractors and builders
Construction firms move large payments to many subcontractors and suppliers, share drawings and bids widely, and run temporary networks on job sites — all attractive to attackers. The FBI’s 2025 IC3 report found contracting services among the most frequent ransomware complainants outside critical infrastructure. We’ve built infrastructure and secure collaboration tools for commercial contractors, and we help firms protect their margins from fraud and downtime.
What attackers target in construction
Invoice and payment fraud
Criminals impersonate subcontractors and suppliers to redirect progress payments, often using compromised email accounts in the supply chain.
Ransomware on project deadlines
Encrypted project files and accounting systems threaten schedules, penalties, and payroll.
Job-site and remote access
Temporary networks, shared devices, and field staff connecting from anywhere widen the attack surface.

Don’t see your question? Ask our security team directly.
Why are construction companies targeted by hackers?
Large, frequent payments to many third parties, time-sensitive projects, distributed workforces, and historically lighter IT investment make construction attractive for payment fraud and ransomware.
How can contractors prevent payment redirection fraud?
Verify any change to vendor bank details by calling a known number, require dual approval for payment changes, enforce MFA on email, and train accounting staff to recognize urgency and impersonation.
Do subcontractors on defense projects need CMMC?
Subcontractors that handle Federal Contract Information or Controlled Unclassified Information inherit cybersecurity requirements from the prime contract, including NIST SP 800-171 and applicable CMMC levels.
