Transaction and email risk
- Email without strong MFA
- Payment changes accepted without independent verification
- Executive and vendor impersonation
- Limited visibility into account compromise
Cybersecurity for real estate
Protect every transaction, property, and connection
Real estate companies operate through email, cloud platforms, property-management systems, mobile teams, external vendors, and frequent high-value financial transactions.
Transaction protectionPortfolio-wide visibilityOperational resilience
A high-value target
One compromised inbox can control a transaction
Attackers can monitor communications, impersonate trusted participants, and redirect deposits, closing payments, capital contributions, or vendor payments.
Real estate firms may also hold tenant and employee Social Security numbers, bank information, investor records, leases, property-access credentials, vendor instructions, building-management data, and acquisition materials.
Risk reaches beyond headquarters
Cybersecurity must account for corporate offices, mobile employees, managed properties, cloud systems, building technology, third parties, and newly acquired assets.
Common real estate gaps
Distributed operations create distributed exposure
Access and property risk
- Excessive employee and vendor access
- Shared administrator accounts
- Flat networks connecting property systems
- Unsupported facility technology
Portfolio resilience risk
- Incomplete asset inventories
- Delayed application patching
- Connected or untested backups
- Inconsistent controls after acquisitions
Regulatory and contractual considerations
Some real estate businesses are also financial institutions
Certain mortgage lenders, brokers, account servicers, finance companies, wire-transfer businesses, and other entities engaged in qualifying financial activities may be covered by the FTC Safeguards Rule.
Covered organizations must maintain a written information-security program and address areas including risk assessment, access controls, asset and data inventories, encryption, MFA, monitoring or testing, employee training, service-provider oversight, incident response, and reporting.
Other real estate organizations may face requirements from state privacy and breach-notification laws, investor agreements, lender requirements, property-management contracts, cyber-insurance policies, and obligations to protect employee, tenant, or customer information.
How HTS helps
Protection across transactions and property operations
Secure endpoints and mobile teams
Protect laptops, workstations, and servers against ransomware, malware, fileless attacks, and suspicious behavior.
Reduce transaction fraud
Combine awareness, identity controls, endpoint visibility, monitoring, and payment-verification procedures.
Control privileged and vendor access
Limit administrator access, eliminate unmanaged credentials, monitor sessions, and remove access when no longer required.
Protect the full portfolio
Discover systems and exposures across offices, remote teams, properties, cloud environments, and acquired assets.
Limit lateral movement
Use network and identity segmentation to keep a compromised user or property system from reaching the broader environment.
Maintain operational resilience
Prepare to restore property management, leasing, finance, building access, and other essential systems.
