Both the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Department of Homeland Security joined forces to establish October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month back in 2004 in an effort to raise awareness about the significance of cybersecurity.

No industry is immune to cybersecurity threats, but those of us in construction know there are certain factors that can make us targets of cybercriminals, like the heaps of data contractors rely on to facilitate complex construction projects. The construction industry is also notorious for having multiple projects, using many different applications, and hundreds, if not thousands, of workers entering data which can also provide plenty of potential doors of opportunity for cybercriminals to knock on.

So, how do contractors ensure these doors stay locked? In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness month, take a few minutes to learn about common threats cybercriminals use and how you can protect yourselves and your organization.

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our customer panel has to say about the construction industry’s sweeping technology transformation and how leading contractors are not just adapting to technology, but driving the force behind new innovations in the industry.

In this recorded webinar, our customer panel along with Trimble Viewpoint experts discuss key challenges our industry faces when it comes to adapting to technology, how to remove the barriers to allow for digital transformation and strategies to help you scale your business including attracting and retaining skilled professionals amid an ongoing labor shortage.

We’re gearing up and excited to bring Viewpoint to the Trimble Dimensions+ user conference in Las Vegas, November 7-9! Our Trimble Viewpoint customers will be getting a front-row seat to the latest construction tech, including cutting-edge connections between Viewpoint software and Trimble technology all to help make their work easier.

We'll be kicking things off with our keynote session that's sure to inspire, featuring Trimble CEO, Rob Painter and tech luminary and co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak. In addition, there are over 50 sessions dedicated to Viewpoint ERP users, the catalog is filled with new ideas and workflows, and expert-led education. Attendees will also discover training, customer panel discussions, and so much more.

On top of all that, we have a dedicated Viewpoint Services Area where Viewpoint customers can get personalized product demos, talk to customer support, learn more about Viewpoint Academy and The Network, and chat with our product experts.
