Our thorough and rigorous planning means you can have peace of mind knowing that we are prepared for whatever cybersecurity threats your organization faces. In the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, where sensitive project data like blueprints and contracts are exchanged daily, we incorporate Natural Language Processing (NLP) to enhance threat detection. NLP analyzes communications, emails, and documents for phishing indicators or anomalous language patterns, such as fraudulent change orders or suspicious subcontractor bids, helping prevent intellectual property theft and supply chain attacks common in Texas construction sites.

Preactive Endpoint Protection
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) serves as a critical safeguard for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, surpassing traditional antivirus by delivering continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection across devices such as laptops, tablets, and servers used on job sites and in offices. At Preactive IT Solutions, our EDR services harness AI-driven behavioral analysis and machine learning to spot anomalies, like unauthorized access to sensitive BIM models or unusual data transfers of project blueprints, allowing for automated remediation and detailed forensic probes to halt breaches early. This proactive strategy is vital for Texas AEC firms, where ransomware attacks in the construction sector surged 41% over the past year. Overall cyber incidents affected 59% of AEC companies in the last two years, protecting against targeted threats including phishing scams disguised as vendor invoices, credential theft from remote field access, and malware introduced via shared subcontractor devices.
Complementing our Preactive Network Monitoring, EDR creates robust layered defenses tailored to AEC workflows, offering 24/7 expert monitoring, rapid incident response that minimizes project delays from days to minutes, and compliance assistance with regulations like Texas's SB 2610. Designed for businesses in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, our scalable EDR solutions provide superior visibility into endpoint activities and assurance that your operations remain secure against zero-day exploits that could compromise construction timelines or intellectual property.
