In Canada, today. people and businesses alike are under a variety of personal and industrial attacks.
More than one-third of Canada’s IT professionals know – for sure – that they’d had a significant data breach over the previous 12 months that could put their clients or their organizations at risk, a cybersecurity study suggests. Over 36% of businesses in Canada today have been involved in an ongoing cyber attack.
Nearly every company is at cyber risk. With distributed denial of service (DDoS), data security breaches, and other attacks on the rise, addressing and mitigating cyber risk is top of mind among companies across the globe.
