Cybercrime is thriving and cybercriminals are constantly evolving their techniques, tactics and procedures to defeat current-day defenses successfully.
Due to the collection, use and storage of vast amounts of sensitive personal information concerning residents, prospective residents, employees and contractors, the multifamily housing industry is a target-rich environment.
Advances within the property technology sector, otherwise known as PropTech, gives criminals greater access to apartment companies’ networks and the lives of their residents. Further, regulations have rapidly increased, which coincides with skyrocketing cyber insurance premiums.
To help housing providers navigate this landscape, NMHC partnered with Holland & Knight to produce this white paper.
