The 17\u002Dpage Cybersecurity in Canada report notes Canada, like other nations, is seeing an increase in all types of cyberattacks.

“A lot of companies bury their heads in the sand when it comes to cybersecurity,” Morin said. “It’s a cost centre. In many cases a lot of organizations don’t know how to turn it into more of an advantage. It’s just a cost centre.

But, he added, awareness of management is changing for a number of reasons: The sudden need to protect employees working remotely from home due to COVID-19, the increase in ransomware, and the scrutiny of boards of directors.“We’ve worked with a lot of companies that have said, “I’m not too worried. I’m going to get [cyber] insurance. And if there’s ever a problem I’m going to lean on insurance.

In 2022, the report predicts, there will be continued stress for organizations trying to protect their assets. “Threat actors are progressively more brazen and agile — and Canadian businesses of all sizes will not be immune to new strategies to derail much of the cybersecurity protection that they have diligently put in place,” it said.Article content
