The Importance Of Cybersecurity For Construction Projects
Cybersecurity is increasingly important for all businesses around the world with the growing threats posed by cyber-attacks, especially for larger organisations such as construction companies and property developers.
Why Is Cybersecurity So Important When Choosing A Camera Technology Provider?
Our clients handle masses of sensitive data at all stages of construction projects which can involve numerous stakeholders, including subcontractors, suppliers, and contractors. This can be in the form of documentation or visual data;
| Documentation | Visual data |
| NDAs & Contracts Financial information Client details Personal data of employees or tenants | GA’s / Architectural designs 3D/4D models Photos of employees or contractors onsite Photos of the general public |
If any part of the supply chain is compromised by cybercriminals, it could disrupt or even postpone the entire project – resulting in costly delays. If the data is compromised or stolen, it can lead to financial losses, damage to reputation, or legal consequences due to data breaches.
Lobster Pictures Cybersecurity
Lobster Pictures have full Cyber Essentials accreditation, with a fully audited and externally penetration-tested data route that is strongly encrypted and uses only hardware, software and data services from approved, certified suppliers.
This is absolutely essential for projects of all sizes, but especially for the many NDA projects we work on including;
- Government Facilities
- Data Centres
- Oil and Gas Energy Projects
- Military and Defence Sites
Due to the nature of our work, we know it can be detrimental to cut corners when it comes to online security and protecting clients’ sensitive data. Instead of outsourcing cheaply made cameras, we source reputable camera parts and build/test our cameras in our workshop facility – so that we can maintain full visibility for data protection that you can count on.
Why is Cyber Essentials so Important?
Cyber Essentials focuses on five key areas of basic cybersecurity:
- Firewalls
- Secure configuration
- User access control
- Malware protection
- Patch management
These foundations reduce the risk of common cyberattacks, such as phishing, ransomware, and data breaches – however the Cyber Essentials accreditation is as the name suggests – the essentials.
For long-term projects over several months or years – your chosen service provider’s commitments to data security must go far beyond that.
This is impertinent to why at Lobster Pictures we develop, build and test our cameras and online technology in-house to ensure rigorous quality control standards are met within the Lobster Vision software, and for each and every hardware component in our cameras.
