Here’s where we come in.

Cybersecurity
The nature of your business is that the work ventures outside the walls of your office a lot of the time. Construction sites pop up all over the area and your team needs to be able to access your network from any location. Remote server access presents a cybersecurity risk. In 2022, the average cost of a data breach was over $9 million. Could your business afford that? Likely not, which is why over half of U.S. businesses close within two years following a data breach.
Fortunately, at Dytech Group, our Florida IT support for the construction industry includes a full suite of cybersecurity services to keep your network safe whether your employees are in the office or on-site. If your construction business does not have these systems in place already, we need to talk.
Firewall – When you have a firewall protecting your business, it acts as a gatekeeper constantly watching data attempting to enter your network. Rules are assigned to the firewall software and only communications that follow the rules are allowed in. Some examples would be a trusted domain or a range of IP addresses. If incoming data is not trusted, it is rejected.
Strong Passwords – Your company data should always be password protected with a strong alphanumeric password. Encourage your employees who use mobile devices for work to use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols when accessing company data on their smartphones. Facial recognition software and fingerprints are not as safe as you’d think.
Employee Training System – We realize that keeping up with the latest cyber threats can be a full-time job, so we offer training for your employees to keep them informed and vigilant. Our training programs include best practices on email security and how to avoid phishing scams, as well as other tips on cybersecurity.
Network Monitoring – Even with all of these security measures in place, malicious attacks can still happen which is why our Florida IT support for the construction industry includes options for network monitoring. Our trained staff will watch your system 24/7 and if a breach is attempted, we will know.
Disaster Recovery – If an unforeseen event like a natural disaster, flood, fire, or cyberattack takes your system offline, you need to be able to access your data during any downtime. At Dytech Group, we offer a full disaster recovery program so that you won’t lose valuable work time waiting for your system to come back online.
