Gartner predicts 75% of CEOs to be personally liable for cyber-security incidents by 2024. This should be a wakeup call for all CEOs to take stringent measures considering the alarming situation that the world is in. When it comes to cybersecurity, Canada witnessed a steep increase in cyber-attacks as hackers and scammers made utmost use of the unprecedented situation brought in by the Covid-19 pandemic.

What makes Covid-19 a fertile ground for criminals?

The worldwide lockdown forced the companies to change their work model(s) all of a sudden. Remote working became the new norm and cloud migrations & BYOD became the new watchword for businesses. Though this helped companies to ensure business continuity, cybersecurity became a top of mind priority for all businesses. Within the four walls, despite the existence of BYOD culture, companies were able to ensure security to a great extent. However, with remote working, the threat landscape has expanded, and cybercriminals are not missing out any opportunity to exploit the new vulnerabilities. They continue to unleash a diverse array of attacks that include phishing scams, malware, credential theft attacks, business email compromise attempts and ransomware. Most remote workers have solutions that do nothing more than an antivirus solution, but it doesn’t provide the required security. In such a scenario, companies can only advise and in no way force remote workers to implement optimal security measures.
