Cyber protects your business when an incident hits your systems, your data, or your money. That includes ransomware, data breaches, business email compromise, and invoice fraud.
The cost to investigate and recover, including forensics, breach coaching, ransomware response, data restoration, and business interruption. Ransomware continues to be one of the most disruptive cyber threats facing Canadian organizations.
Privacy liability and network security liability if a customer, vendor, or other third party alleges you failed to protect data or allowed a cyber event to harm them. This is the we're being sued side of cyber.
Social engineering and funds transfer fraud, like invoice redirection and business email compromise. This is one of the most important pieces for real-world businesses and is a very common source of claims.
You get an email that looks like a normal vendor thread with new banking details. The invoice is real. The account is not. The payment goes to the wrong place.
An attacker spoofs or compromises an email account and uses that trust to push an urgent wire or change payment instructions.
Fake payroll change forms, CEO wire requests, gift card scams. These are simple plays, and they still work.
Statistics Canada found scams and fraud were reported by 50% of impacted businesses in 2023, making it one of the most prevalent methods.

BDC has cited research indicating 73% of small businesses have experienced a cybersecurity incident. That can range from phishing attempts to more serious events, but it reinforces the point: too small to target is not a strategy.
79% paid ransom demands, and the typical payment was at least $25,000. Even when ransoms are not paid, response and downtime costs are often the bigger operational hit.
