What’s Really Happening in 2025? It’s Not Just Talk—It’s an Epidemic

Ransomware attacks in Canada have exploded—up 84% compared to this time last year—and it’s not just the big guys getting hit anymore.

Today, cybercriminals don’t just lock down your systems. They also go after your backups—yes, even the ones you thought were safe. This new twist is why traditional security setups just aren’t cutting it anymore.

Want a refresher on the worst types of threats out there? These 5 AI cybersecurity myths will shake up everything you thought you knew.

The Trick That Makes Hackers Fail: Backups They Can’t Corrupt

Enter: immutable backup storage. This isn’t your average backup. Immutable backups can’t be deleted, edited, or tampered with—even by someone with admin access.

And unlike the old “air-gapped” backups of the past (which needed clunky offline devices), today’s solutions are cloud-based and automated. That means less hassle for your team—and way better protection.

Need a full walkthrough on what backups your small business should be using? This plain-English guide to cybersecurity for SMBs breaks it down for non-tech folks.

4 Reasons Immutable Backups Should Be Your New Go-To

Even though most IT pros say it’s a must, many small businesses still haven’t added this crucial layer. Here’s why you should fix that—fast.

1. They Make Ransom Demands Useless

If criminals can’t touch your backups, you can skip the payout and get your files back yourself.

2. They Work Even When Hackers Breach Admin Accounts

Hackers often go after admin access—but even with full control, they can’t change immutable backups.

3. They Speed Up Recovery Time

No scrambling, no rebuilding. You can restore fast and keep working like nothing happened.

4. They Fit Easily Into Modern Cloud Systems

No bulky gear or complex routines. Today’s tools do the heavy lifting automatically.

Your Backups Should Be Bulletproof—Are They?

We say it all the time: cybersecurity isn’t just about keeping threats out—it’s about bouncing back when they get in.

With ransomware evolving faster than ever, you need to be thinking ahead. Firewalls and antivirus are good—but they’re not foolproof. Immutable backup storage gives your business the ultimate “undo” button when everything else fails.
