Understanding the Significance of Cybersecurity in the Construction Industry: Survey Findings

Analogous to Industry 4.0, we have the advent of Construction a transformative process wherein digital technology and digitalization affect every phase life cycle construction projects, from design contracting construction, operation, maintenance, upgrade, decommissioning ones. The progress has been uneven, as recognition new security environment in which architecture, engineering, operation (AECO) industry operates. Hackers for profit, disloyal competitors, disgruntled insiders, or even state agents employing hybrid warfare all utilize cyber means achieve goals that can disrupt processes, corrupt information, interrupt operations, cause significant material damage loss human life. Starting recognizing paucity studies this field, paper analyzes results survey on cybersecurity awareness AECO industry. analyses employed statistical methods such t-test, Spearman’s rank correlation test, ANOVA test hypotheses formulated answer research questions study. resulting data are commented upon placed context an evolving confronted with shock environment, while also moving forward 4.0 creator added value, efficiencies, capabilities.
