Every Business Needs Cybersecurity, But Where Do You Start?
Have you evaluated the impact that a cyberattack could have on your business?
Cybersecurity is not a one-time solution: it’s an ongoing process that requires constant monitoring, updating, and adapting.
To stay protected, it’s essential to:
- assess your current level of risk
- identify your assets and vulnerabilities
- implement the best practices and tools to protect them
- and monitor and respond to any threats or incidents
- educate your employees and customers on how to avoid falling victim to phishing, ransomware, or other common attacks
But you don’t have to do it alone.
We’re here with leading solutions and services to help you secure your business from cyber threats. We have the expertise, experience, and technology to help you design, implement, and manage a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that meets your specific needs and budget.
Protect Your Business with Leading Solutions Managed By Our Expert Team
Equip your business to navigate today’s complex cyber landscape.
Build Customer Trust
What would be the impact on your relationship with your customers if their confidential data fell into the wrong hands?
Sixty-six percent of U.S. consumers would not trust a company that falls victim to a data breach with their data and 44% of consumers attribute cyber incidents to a company’s lack of security measures. [1]
Both individual consumers and business clients are increasingly demanding that companies they do business with take data protection seriously.
If your business falls victim to a cyber attack that could have been prevented, even after operations are restored, revenue can be further impacted as customers and trust that were built up over years vanish overnight.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Stay ahead of the curve and minimize legal and business risks.
Large companies are increasingly requiring that their vendors and partners prove that they have the right measures in place. Are you going to be ready when your biggest customers demand that you meet compliance and security standards
Additionally, in the next two to three years, we anticipate that there will be a major requirement to show a high level of cybersecurity compliance. Canada doesn’t currently have as many cybersecurity laws as some other jurisdictions, but there are a number of pieces of legislation in draft, and we anticipate that businesses will start seeing requirements similar to CMMC and FTC Safeguards that exist in the States.
Avoid High Costs and Downtime
What would the business impact be if your systems were down for three weeks due to a cyberattack?
The average cost of a cybersecurity breach in 2023 is $6.94 million[1]. As of the second quarter of 2022, the average length of downtime after a ransomware attack for businesses in the United States was 24 days.[2]
Business leaders often underestimate how long it takes to recover from a cyberattack as well as the impact it has to the business. From the losses that come from having downtime across your entire organization, to paying ransomware to restore operations or access to your critical data, the toll of a cyberattack on your operations can be devastating.
Adopt AI Seamlessly
AI is going to be critical to your business—do you fully understand the risks vs benefits?
80%+ of leaders cited leakage of sensitive data as their main concern [1].
The landscape around AI is constantly changing: it’s not just about implementing the right technology, it’s about ensuring you have the right measures and employee training in place to protect your customer data, IP, and more.
With robust protection, you can confidently explore AI innovations, knowing your sensitive information is shielded from accidental leaks or threat actors.
Maximize Your Insurability
Does Your Business Have Cyber Insurance, and Understand How to Set It Up?
The frequency of cyber insurance claims has increased by 100% in the past three years. [1]
Robust cybersecurity measures is essential for only protecting your business but also ensuring eligibility for insurance payouts.
Additionally, cyber-insurance, which can help businesses recoup some of these costs after an attack, won’t pay out unless you can demonstrate that your organization had the right measures in place.
