CONSTRUCTION

 How the construction industry benefits from tailored OMNIA solutions or from any of OMNIA’s add-on product or service modules

  • The construction sector relies on supply chain and IoT-connected devices almost beyond and above other sectors (after retail & hospitality) – both supply chain and IoT are considered weak links in cybersecurity.
  • 93% of IoT devices are unprotected by cybersecurity.
  • 78% leap in supply chain cyber-attacks in 2023
  • Construction faces many remote issues with connectivity not being in place where new building projects are in process – getting on-site secure plug-and-play connectivity is a continual challenge for the sector.
  • UK’s NCSC states that the allocation of government infrastructure projects depends on the robust cybersecurity of construction partners.
  • Construction saw a 40% increase in cyber-attacks in 2023 compared to the previous year.
