Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's construction contractors could expose tender bids, subcontractor payments and site plans, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why construction contractors are targeted: Construction pays large sums to many subcontractors and is a leading UK sector for invoice fraud and ransomware.

Critical

Invoice & Payment Diversion Fraud

Criminals hijack or imitate email threads at construction contractors and send altered bank details just before a payment is made, often for sums that never come back.

High
