Webinar on cybersecurity in rental and construction, 4 November

International Rental News (IRN) will host a free webinar on cybersecurity in the rental and construction equipment market featuring senior speakers from rental company Loxam, crane manufacturer Palfinger and used equipment giant Ritchie Bros.

Cybersecurity for rental will be held on 4 November at 15.00 (UK time) and will feature participants who have high-level responsibility for cybersecurity at their organisations.

The focus is on cybersecurity for equipment rental, but the discussion will be of equal value to any business in the construction equipment supply chain, from equipment manufacturers and dealers to contractors and rental companies.

Registration for the one-hour webinar is free here. The participants will be:
