Northern District Breakfast: Cyber Safety in 2024

Is your company cyber-safe?

In the construction industry, a robust cyber safety program is essential to counter the escalating threat of cyber-attacks. As construction processes become increasingly digitized, ranging from design to project management, the vulnerability to cyber threats grows. A comprehensive cyber safety strategy includes employee training, secure data management, and the deployment of advanced cybersecurity tools.

Please plan to join us as Hemisphere Solutions' Jeff Clement will discuss cyber awareness and the shared responsibility of all employees (aka The Human Firewall) in protecting your information systems and your company and employees information. He will share his experience that there’s a belief -- especially in the construction industry -- that sole responsibility of cybersecurity falls on the IT department. Jeff will also discuss how companies should consider establishing systems to best ensure their cyber safety.

Jeff's approach is to educate companies on the idea that everyone has a role when it comes to protecting digital assets and, like any other initiative within an organization, buy-in from upper management is the key to success. He came up with the Cyber Safety approach to piggyback on construction’s belief that every employee has a role when it comes to safety. Join us at Bellingham Golf & Country Club for this informative session!
