Cybercriminals are deviating towards a more focused approach against targets by using better obfuscation techniques and improved social engineering skills as organizations improve in areas such as time to detection and response to threats

It’s an interesting and challenging time to be working in the cyber security industry. By and large, research indicates that cybercrime is on the rise

With every passing year, cybercrime gets worse. It makes sense: it’s lucrative. Cybercrime is estimated to be a $1.5 trillion industry, with some countries now basing their economy around cybercrime

Unfortunately, with technology on the rise, there’s more room for cyber crime in 2018. According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2018, 43% of businesses were a victim of a cyber security breach in the last 12 months.

So what is the actual cost of a data breach? Well, obviously it varies depending on the nature of the organisation that has lost control of its data, the nature of data that has been breached and the severity of the attack.

Global annual cybercrime costs will grow from $3 trillion in 2015 to $6 trillion annually by 2021, according to fresh forecasting.

Ottawa has released its long-awaited update to its national cybersecurity strategy, promising to better protect Canadians from cybercrime, to respond to evolving threats, and defend critical government and private sector systems.

Nearly 3 years after passing amendments to Canada’s federal private sector privacy law to include mandatory breach notification and record-keeping requirements, the Government has finalized some related regulations and announced that the new obligations will come into force on November 1, 2018.

The harsh truth is that our technology-filled lives are leaving us open to security risks at practically every turn. It’s so widespread that the 2017 Annual Cybercrime Report predicted that by 2021 cyber crime damages will cost the world roughly $6 trillion annually.
