Description
ASKED & ANSWERED
Why does my business need a cybersecurity plan?
The answer is simple: a cybersecurity plan provides critical protection against growing fraud and cybercrime such as ransomware and identity theft, which prey upon our increasing reliance on digital technologies and services connect to the internet. Almost 60% of Canadian companies subject to cybersecurity attacks were targeted by phishing -- do you know it when you see it? And according to Statista, 30% of all Canadian companies suffer up to 20 cyberattacks in a 12-month period.
Is that enough to convince you?
Essential for all data-focused organizations such as financial institutions, payroll providers, government, and the like, a cybersecurity plan is now an essential tool for all employers and organizational types. The planning process will enable you to assess risks, identify and address vulnerabilities, ensure staff alertness to potential breaches, deliver prevention-focused training, and to manage proprietary information with integrity. A cybersecurity plan can help your organization mitigate severe impacts including core business downtime, permanent data loss, intellectual property theft, privacy breaches, reputational damage, and expensive recovery cost.
