Webinar Description

In today's AEC landscape, a single ransomware attack doesn't just lock files—it halts jobsites and triggers massive liquidated damages. With over $650 million paid in ransoms in 2025 alone, the industry is a prime target because attackers know you can’t afford to wait.

Join Egnyte’s Satyam Verma and Neil Jones for a session designed for the operational realities of construction. We move past technical jargon to address your biggest exposure points: over-permissioned subcontractors, legacy file servers, and the rising pressure of CMMC compliance.

What You’ll Learn:

• Cyber Resilience: How to implement "least-privileged access" without slowing down project teams.
• Safe AI Adoption: Leveraging AI for document discovery while maintaining strict permission boundaries.
• The DSI Roadmap: A practical, low-friction pathway to move your firm from reactive defense to total readiness.

Don’t let security be an afterthought. Learn how to turn data protection into a competitive differentiator.

Learning Outcome

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to identify high-impact data exposure points—such as over-permissioned access and legacy infrastructure —and implement a practical, three-step roadmap to transition from reactive defense to proactive cyber readiness. Attendees will gain the framework to enforce least-privileged access for subcontractors , meet evolving compliance mandates like CMMC , and establish secure guardrails for AI adoption that protect sensitive project data. Egnyte will also provide an exclusive offer to ABC members for a 4 week Cyber Security Insights Program, custom to each organization.
