Digital Transformation and Cyber Security

Introduction

In recent years, the construction sector has seen a significant shift towards digital transformation, with the majority of contractors recognising the benefits of adopting new technologies to gain a competitive edge. A recent survey indicates that 80% of contractors have already implemented some form of digital transformation, with many reporting sustained improvements in their business processes.

However, while digital adoption is on the rise, cyber security remains a pressing concern. The findings suggest that a considerable number of contractors are not adequately prepared to handle cyber threats, with gaps in accountability, awareness, and training. This report explores the current state of digital transformation and cyber security within the construction industry, highlighting the motivations, successes, and challenges faced by contractors today.
