The company also provides consulting services aligned with its mission to create “ a more connected , resilient and sustainable world .”
The Mace Email Security Challenge
Two trends presented growing security challenges for Mace . The first was the increase in advanced email threats that evaded the firm ’ s signature-based defence solutions . Kirit Marvania , Digital Operations Director , said that a wave of vendor email compromise attacks highlighted the need for additional protection . “ Microsoft 365 covers a lot of bases . But it doesn ’ t necessarily have the speciality to address threats that come from trusted sources like vendors .”
The second trend was a shift in security mindset . “ Historically , construction hasn ’ t been the most cyber secure industry , because in this space assets have always been bricks , mortar , and construction equipment ,” said Kaushik Bagchi , Head of Digital Security . “ But the kind of high value , high visibility projects we do involve a lot of highly confidential data , so we have pushed to improve our cybersecurity .” x
