Quick Answer

What is cyber liability for contractors?

Contractors are the #1 target for wire fraud and ransomware. A single wire-fraud email can drain a contractor's entire job profit. This guide covers phishing attacks, ransomware, wire fraud & social engineering, and the practical strategies contractors in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Texas use to manage this risk and reduce insurance cost.

Contractors are the #1 target for wire fraud and ransomware.

Phishing Attacks

Construction is the most-phished industry in America. Employee training plus email authentication blocks most of it.

Ransomware

Job-cost data, plans, and accounting systems are prime targets. Backup hygiene and segmented networks are the basics every contractor needs.

Wire Fraud & Social Engineering

Fake change-of-bank requests from a 'vendor' cost contractors millions every year. Verification protocols and proper coverage are mandatory.

Business Interruption

When systems go down, payroll, scheduling, and billing stop. Cyber BI coverage replaces that lost income while you recover.
