Real estate transactions move millions—sometimes billions—of dollars every day. Yet, many firms operate with security measures that wouldn’t stand up to even the most basic cyberattack. Hackers know this, and they’re taking full advantage. Sensitive client data, wire transfers, and critical operational systems are all targets, and without proper defenses, a single breach can bring an entire business to its knees.
DefenTec provides advanced cybersecurity and IT solutions to protect real estate firms from financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory penalties. Our experts craft security strategies that protect your data, streamline operations, and keep your business resilient against cyber threats.
Cyber Risks That Threaten Real Estate
Wire Fraud & Payment Redirection Scams
Hackers infiltrate email systems or impersonate agents, brokers, or escrow officers to trick buyers and sellers into transferring funds to fraudulent accounts. With large sums of money at stake, a single compromised transaction can result in devastating financial losses.
Ransomware
Property management firms rely on digital platforms to handle lease agreements, tenant records, and maintenance schedules. A ransomware attack can lock access to these critical systems, leaving businesses unable to collect rent, process work orders, or manage properties efficiently.
Unauthorized Access to Smart Buildings & IoT Devices
Many modern buildings use smart technology for security systems and tenant access. If left unsecured, connected devices can be hacked, leading to data theft, physical security breaches, and operational disruptions.
Exposure of Confidential Client & Financial Data
Real estate firms handle sensitive information, including Social Security numbers, financial records, and mortgage details. A data breach can expose this private data, leading to identity theft, legal action, and compliance violations.
Lack of Compliance
With increasing regulations around data protection and industry-specific security requirements, real estate firms must stay compliant. Failure to do so can lead to hefty fines and reputational damage.
