HCSS Risks and Challenges

The evolution of cyber threats has left executives in a state of heightened concern, particularly with the construction industry's increasing reliance on electronic data and hosted services. Organizations within the construction and engineering sectors are observed to be transitioning towards Software as a Service (SaaS). A mere five years ago, skepticism prevailed among many entities regarding the storage of sensitive data in "the cloud." This hesitation was prevalent even though cloud vendors often offered security measures surpassing the capabilities of individual companies.
