What Can You Expect at Advancing Construction Cybersecurity in 2026?
Advancing Construction Cybersecurity 2026 is the only dedicated event designed exclusively for cybersecurity leaders across the construction industry. Uniting CISOs, IT security directors, compliance leaders, and technology executives from leading contractors and specialty trades, the conference provides a unique opportunity to benchmark strategies, share lessons learned, and address the cyber threats impacting projects today.
Across three days of workshops, case studies, audience discussions, and networking, attendees will learn how leading firms are securely implementing AI, navigating CMMC requirements, managing third-party risk, strengthening security culture, protecting project and client data, and improving resilience against ransomware and emerging threats.
Built by construction cyber leaders for construction cyber leaders, the event focuses on practical, real-world solutions that can be implemented immediately to ensure the success, safety, and security of future business operations without compromised project delivery.
