The U.S. Government is highlighting cybersecurity risks tied to default credentials in software systems, especially in construction sectors using digital solutions. A cybersecurity threat targeting Foundation Software exposed companies with unchanged default passwords, allowing brute-force attacks to compromise systems. The government urges firms to reset default passwords to protect sensitive data.
The U.S. Government’s emphasis on digital security aligns with the shift towards hosted software solutions. By adopting cloud-hosted services, companies can enhance security as these platforms provide stronger protection than on-premise systems vulnerable to cyberattacks.
