Cyberwar, Cybercrime, and everyday Cyber Attacks

As cyber threats continue to grow in frequency and sophistication, and the threat landscape broadens as the Internet of Things comes online, it’s become clear that cyber threats pose one of the most fundamental threats to Canadian national security, economic stability, and the privacy of its citizens. Whether they be ransomware attacks, data breaches, thefts of intellectual property, or more destructive activity that targets industrial control systems with physical consequences to critical infrastructure, Canadian government and businesses are being targeted at a rapid pace.

A busy professional trying hard to keep up with such demands - often in the company of tired and unmotivated colleagues - is at high risk for a destructive dose of stress.
