KEY CHALLENGES
Cyber risks facing the public sector
Real estate businesses are often vulnerable to cyber-attacks. They handle sensitive data and conduct high-value transactions, making them prime targets. These firms usually lack standardized cybersecurity practices, and their reliance on third-party vendors increases risks.
Wire fraud scam & Business Email Compromise (BEC)
Bad actors trick agents and clients with fake emails or messages. They steal login credentials or redirect funds. These scams damage trust and cause significant financial losses during property transactions.
Ransomware: held hostage by hackers
Attackers encrypt essential real estate data, like client records and transaction files. They demand a ransom for its release, disrupting business operations and harming reputation.
Third-party risks: the weakest link
Real estate firms depend on external vendors for IT support, legal services, or payment processing. If these vendors lack robust cybersecurity, they create entry points for attackers.

PROACTIVE STEPS
Building a secure foundation for real estate
Implement strong Network Access Control measures
Weak access policies expose systems to unauthorized users. Compromised accounts may reveal sensitive property documents. NordLayer’s Network Access Control (NAC) ensures only authorized users can access critical systems. Role-based access and 2FA offer enhanced protection. NAC helps mitigate unauthorized access risks.
Safeguard access to SaaS apps
Real estate firms rely on SaaS apps for operations. Poor SaaS security may lead to data leaks. NordLayer provides tools like SSO, Dedicated IPs, and more ZTNA solutions to secure access, prevent data leaks, and reduce risks from phishing attacks. These features prevent unauthorized app access and protect valuable data
Simplify credential management with password managers
Weak passwords put sensitive data at risk. NordPass, in partnership with NordLayer, simplifies credential management, eliminating weak or reused passwords. This ensures secure access for all users, reducing the risk of credential theft and unauthorized access.
Secure Remote Access
Employees working remotely face risks like unsecured networks. NordLayer offers Secure Remote Access with encryption and multi-layered authentication, ensuring secure connections from any location. This enables real estate professionals to work securely, whether in the office or on the go.
Monitor your network & beyond
Limited visibility leads to undetected threats. NordLayer, alongside NordStellar, provides network visibility and dark web monitoring, offering complete control and early threat detection. These tools provide insights into network activities, helping businesses identify and respond to potential threats faster.
Manage third-party risks in complex supply chains
Vendors often have access to internal systems, increasing risks. NordLayer’s Network Segmentation limits access, ensuring third parties can only see what they need. This minimizes exposure to sensitive data and reduces the attack surface.
Ensure regulatory compliance
Meeting compliance is challenging but crucial. NordLayer helps real estate businesses align with standards like GDPR and PCI-DSS by implementing secure connections and enforcing Zero Trust principles. Our solutions contribute to your compliance journey by improving data protection and network security.
