Cybercrime is an increasingly significant threat to businesses in Canada, with statistics showing a worrying rise in both the frequency and severity of attacks:
- In 2022, 85.7% of Canadian companies reported experiencing at least one cyberattack, a notable increase from previous years. This trend underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures for businesses of all sizes (Made in CA) (StatsCan).
- One of the most common and costly forms of cybercrime affecting Canadian businesses is ransomware. Approximately 65% of companies expect to be targeted by ransomware, and the average cost of a ransomware incident can reach nearly $2 million. Despite the high costs, only 11% of affected companies opt to pay the ransom, reflecting a strong stance against cyber extortion (Made in CA). Furthermore, the average cost of a data breach in Canada has escalated to $5.4 million, making it imperative for businesses to invest in preventive measures (Made in CA).
- Businesses are not only dealing with direct financial losses but also operational disruptions. More than half of Canadian businesses affected by cyber incidents report that these issues prevent employees from carrying out their daily tasks, and about 30% incur additional repair or recovery costs (StatsCan). This highlights the need for continuous monitoring and rapid response to mitigate the impact of cyber threats.
Given these challenges, having a reliable and secure IT infrastructure is crucial for success. Many businesses are turning to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) like SecurIBC to enhance their cybersecurity posture through a comprehensive suite of managed IT services designed to ensure your Southwestern Ontario business operations run smoothly and securely.
