In recent years, financial losses due to fraud have increased steadily. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre reports that $370 million was lost to scams and fraud in 2021, an increase of 130% compared to 2020. In 2022, $530 million was lost to fraud — another significant increase.
Just because you run a small business doesn’t mean you’re beyond being targeted for a cyber attack. Small businesses often hold the same sensitive customer information as larger enterprises. That, combined with fewer resources to devote to cyber security knowledge and mitigation, makes them an attractive target to hackers.
As businesses scale to meet rising demands, getting a clear visibility of what is happening in your digital assets is vital. It is important to run continuous monitoring to effectively scan for a broad range of attacks, troubleshoot potential risks and secure your tech stack.
Cyber security in the workplace has become increasingly critical as more organizations migrate to cloud services. As adoption of digital channels and work from home initiatives have grown exponentially, so too has the number of phishing attacks, business email frauds, data breaches and ransomware attacks.
