When it comes to cyber safety, contractors are more likely to be focused on keeping their customers’ data safe rather than their own. On the residential side, contractors are concerned about keeping IoT-enabled thermostats safe from hackers, and on the commercial side, they want to ensure that building automation systems are as impenetrable as possible.
Contractors are often less concerned about their own cyber safety because they may think that as a small- or medium-sized business, they are less prone to being hacked. But in the era of ransomware attacks, contractors need to be more vigilant than ever.
