Few businesses have updated internal cybersecurity policies and plans in light of our new reality that are crucial to effectively mitigating the impacts of cyber-attacks.
Blakes has developed a Canadian Cybersecurity Trends Study, the first of its kind annual study in Canada, which details how Canadian businesses are dealing with cyber threats.
