¶ Introduction
The construction industry, with its focus on project management, site coordination, and collaboration across various stakeholders, faces unique cybersecurity challenges. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) supporting construction firms must implement robust security frameworks that address these specific needs. Exium’s integrated Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solutions offer a comprehensive approach to improve security posture and operational efficiency within the construction sector.
¶ Key Benefits
¶ Secure and Reliable Internet Connectivity
- Secure Internet Access: Exium ensures secure access to online resources and SaaS applications for construction teams on-site or in offices. With features such as DNS/Web Security, Threat Prevention, and Geo Fencing, construction firms can safeguard their data from cyber threats, regardless of their location.
¶ Protection of Internal Applications
- Secure Private Access: By adopting Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Exium enhances security for internal applications critical to construction operations. This prevents unauthorized access and ensures sensitive project data remains secure even across dispersed work sites and remote project teams.
¶ Comprehensive On-Site and Office Security
- Modern Workplace Security: Exium replaces outdated security systems with a modern suite, including Software Firewall and IoT/OT Security. This protects both office environments and on-site equipment from cyber threats, ensuring that all network devices, from CAD software to IoT-enabled machinery, remain secure.
¶ Effective Threat Detection and Response
- Exium XDR Capabilities: With advanced visibility and analytics, SOC teams are empowered to detect, investigate, and mitigate threats swiftly. Tools such as Malware Detection, Threat Scans, and MITRE ATT&CK framework ensure rapid response to potential security incidents, maintaining data integrity across multiple construction projects.
¶ Streamlined Compliance and Risk Management
- Governance Risk and Compliance Tools: The construction industry must comply with various regulations and standards. Exium’s solutions simplify compliance management with support for over 50 frameworks, including GDPR and ISO 27001, reducing risk and ensuring compliance without overwhelming resources.
¶ Efficient Identity Management
