  Its time to stop being confused about the cyber security Grant Barnes, Threat and Vulnerability Manager at Cantium Business Solutions defines how a shift in mindset from feeling like a victim of cyber-attacks to a proactive defender of our digital assets can help in raising our educational awareness of cyber security threats.

Back in 2017, the McKinsey Global Institute concluded that construction industry could improve productivity by 50 to 60% and increase the global value of industry by $1.6tn (£1.3tn) per year. Since then, McKinsey says that the improved production processes and the use of new software and apps have improved efficiency but not to the extent that one might have hoped. Construction Mr O’Gorman said "Construction is a bit of a digital l...
