Cybersecurity for
Engineering
Protect intellectual property, secure design systems, and defend client data with security services designed for engineering and architecture firms.
The Threats Targeting Engineering
Understanding the specific cyber threats facing your industry is the first step to effective defense.
Intellectual Property Theft
CAD files, design documents, and proprietary processes represent years of R&D investment. Nation-states and competitors target engineering firms for industrial espionage.
Client Data Compromise
Engineering firms hold sensitive client information—infrastructure designs, facility layouts, and security specifications that could enable physical attacks.
Ransomware & Project Disruption
Ransomware encrypts design files and project data, halting work and threatening deadlines. Pressure to meet milestones makes engineering firms attractive targets.
Securing Engineering Operations
Engineering cybersecurity requires protecting valuable intellectual property while enabling collaboration with clients, contractors, and remote team members.
Design System Security
CAD and BIM platforms with valuable IP. Large file transfers with clients and partners. Version control systems holding design history.
Data protection and access controls for design systems
Remote Access & Collaboration
Distributed teams accessing project files. Client portals and extranet systems. VPN and remote desktop infrastructure.
Secure remote access design and monitoring
Client Data Protection
Infrastructure and facility designs. Client trade secrets and specifications. Long project retention requirements.
Data classification and lifecycle management
