Any business, small, medium or large, is the potential target of a cyberattack. 77% of Canada’s businesses are targeted by hackers, no one is safe!
Whether it’s the private information of your customers and employees or documents related to your organization itself, web hackers are well aware that this information is worth a golden price on the Dark Web. You may be surprised at how hackers can go about it to bring it to an end.
Did you know that, subconsciously, 1 in 4 employees is responsible for their organization’s attacks? Whether it’s a malicious email, an app or even a USB stick that contains a virus, without even suspecting anything, a simple “click” can be extremely expensive for an organization, or even be forced to cease their activities.
