From “Once in a While” to “All the Time”: Attacks Are Up—Way Up
Here’s the reality: cybersecurity incidents have tripled since 2023 in Canada. And the majority of them now involve AI-generated malware, social engineering, and ransomware that’s designed to adapt in real time.
This isn’t just a big business problem anymore. SMBs are being hit more often because they’re seen as easier targets—and most aren’t equipped to stop these threats fast enough.
