WHAT IS IT?

Why bother?

Today, fraud and data theft are very present and, unfortunately, on the rise. Whether it's phishing, spear phishing or malware attacks, cyber attacks generate a number of costs, both direct and indirect.

Loss of customers

Remember that in the majority of cases, it's your customers' data that is compromised during cyber attacks. A mistake that's hard to forgive!

Loss of income

Worldwide, cyber attacks represent an economic loss of over 3 billion dollars every year, a figure that is expected to rise.

Damage to reputation

In addition to loss the trust of your customers, a cyber attack can stain your brand for future business opportunities.

Loss of productivity

In order to manage the damage caused by a cyber attack, your staff may have to deviate from their usual tasks for several weeks.

Penalty costs

From September 2024 in Quebec (and since 2016 in France), companies will be held responsible for protecting the personal data they hold, and will be severely punished in the event of a cyber attack.

Business interruption

A cyber attack often involve systems paralysis. Your operations will therefore have to come to a complete halt until the situation is resolved.
