Why are Omaha construction companies targeted for business email compromise?

Construction companies make large, frequent payments to subcontractors and suppliers — making them prime BEC targets. Attackers intercept email threads and redirect payments to fraudulent accounts. Omaha contractors have lost significant sums to this attack type.

How can Omaha construction companies secure job site networks?

Job site networks should use business-grade access points, network segmentation to separate guest and company traffic, strong WiFi passwords rotated regularly, and VPN for employees accessing company systems from the field.

What mobile device security do Omaha construction companies need?

Field crew devices should be enrolled in mobile device management (MDM), require PINs or biometrics, have company email and apps configured through managed profiles, and be able to be remotely wiped if lost or stolen on a job site.

DME's Cybersecurity Approach for Omaha Construction Companies

Layered Defense — Not a Single Tool

We deploy multiple overlapping security controls because no single tool stops every threat. Omaha construction companies get endpoint protection (EDR), ransomware protection, patch management and backup monitoring in every plan; email security and Managed ITDR come with the Full plan, and MFA is set up during onboarding.

Continuous Monitoring — Not Set and Forget

DME monitors your construction business's systems and security posture continuously, so detections are triaged and acted on rather than sitting in a console nobody reads.

Staff Awareness Training

Human error is a common starting point for cyberattacks. Security awareness training can be added to your written scope so your construction team can recognize and avoid phishing, BEC, and social engineering attacks.

Backup Monitoring

We monitor that your construction business's backups actually ran and flag failed or missed jobs, so a silent failure is not discovered during an emergency. Backup monitoring is in every plan; server cloud backup storage is quoted separately.
