  • 7. Can Your Business Outsmart a Hacker?
    Stats in brief: 45-20-00032024007
    Description: The strategies used by cyber attackers are getting more complex. Many of us are inundated with what feels like never-ending phishing emails, scam text messages and fraudulent phone calls. It’s rare to talk to someone who hasn’t experienced some form of a cyber attack. The situation is no different for Canadian businesses. Identity theft, scams, fraud and ransomware are some of the ways bad actors are targeting businesses today. We wanted to know: Is cyber crime on the rise in Canada? What is the relatively new phenomenon of cyber risk insurance? And in what way are consumers affected when a business experiences an security breach? The Canadian Survey of Cyber Security and Cyber Crime has published new data and in this episode, we sat down with Howard Bilodeau, an economist at Statistics Canada to answer our questions about how cyber security is changing for businesses and what it means for the rest of us.
