We live in an increasingly online world. Our lives, both personal and professional, are accessible with just a few clicks, swipes or taps from just about anywhere on Earth. In many ways, this kind of streamlined convenience has improved our day-to-day in ways we never dreamed. But in turn, it also makes us vulnerable.

The security of the data we put into cyberspace is as critical as the lock on our front doors. It protects us from those that would take what doesn’t belong to them and leave a wake of destruction. Unfortunately when it comes to cyberspace, there are often more doors than locks, and attackers are becoming alarmingly adept at letting themselves in. We hear about it in the news, and an unfortunate number of us have experienced it firsthand. But with every new cyberattack…we learn, and our methods for protecting ourselves and our businesses improve.

In this edition of Plains Talk, we’ll discuss the various building and infrastructure design considerations for enhancing cybersecurity across a variety of industry types. Out of caution, and an extreme respect for our clients, we won’t share the particulars of any one project – but instead allow our team of professionals to discuss the overarching themes they face when supporting cybersecurity.
