The Australian Real Estate industry has been at the forefront of adopting new technologies. From high-resolution digital photography with interactive floor plans and virtual tours to data mining tools for client and property data. The industry was one of the first to utilise drone technology for panoramic video and property fly-bys, and agents have firmly embraced social media to build large followings. GCIT has provided Real Estate IT Support for several years and helped real estate customers through many industry changes.
For agency principals, there are challenges to protecting their own, and their customers, sensitive information. Not only are real estate businesses disproportionately targeted by cybercriminals looking to get in the middle of large transactions, but they face a significant risk from malicious insiders.
The competitive and transient nature of the industry dictates that real estate businesses need to keep their intellectual property protected when staff leave. Everything your agency produces contributes to this intellectual property – this information is the value of your business. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to keep your data safe.
