Cyber Security in Construction: GNZCC Construction Forum Roundtable

Cybercrime hits a business every 11 seconds. If you work in construction, would you know what to do if it happened to you? Calling the information technology provider is only part of the answer. Come along and hear from Jan Thornborough, and Wendy Bennett, founders of Outfox, the only cyber resilience company in New Zealand that specialises in working with small to medium sized businesses. Right now, construction is one of the most targeted industries in New Zealand, with criminals taking advantage of poorly protected computer run equipment, payment processes, project pressure, supply chains, and busy teams. You will learn about the latest threats facing the construction sector, what they mean for your business, and the practical steps you can take to protect your people, projects, and cash flow. All in plain language and no jargon.
