What's Your Defence Against a Cybersecurity Attack on Your Business?

Are You Aware You Have a Legal Responsibility to Disclose An Attack?

"The median total cost of an attack was $133,000 – not just the cost of the ransom, but lost hours, downtime, device and network costs, and lost opportunities." - Sophos.com (01/02/2018)

"Global damage costs in connection with ransomware attacks are predicted to reach $11.5 billion annually by 2019." - cybersecurityventures.com (6/28/2018)

"In May 2016 the University of Calgary paid CAD$20,000 after ransomware crippled multiple systems." - ucalgary.ca (6/8/2016)

In the event of a cybersecurity breach, the cost to your business could include lost revenue, additional labour costs, damage to operating systems, legal fees, and punitive damages.
