If your organization stores sensitive personal data such as credit card numbers, social insurance numbers, or other confidential information about your customers or partners, you are covered by Bill 25.<\/span> <\/span>Indeed, from September 22, in Quebec, all companies storing sensitive data will have to apply the directives of Bill 25.<\/span> <\/span>If your company has done everything necessary to comply with the new requirements, has it put in place all the necessary cybersecurity protections to ensure that no intruder can come and steal this precious data?<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

Through this article, let’s see together why and how it is important to strengthen your security posture against cyberattacks, before the next one occurs!<\/span> <\/span><\/h4>\n

The consequences of a cyberattack <\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

There are several types of cyberattacks: cybercrime (ransomware, phishing, etc.), destabilization (denial of service attack, or disfiguration, etc.), espionage (water point attack, targeted phishing), and finally sabotage. (cmentreprise.fr<\/a>)<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Even if the techniques are varied, the consequences remain the same for an organization victim of a cyberattack: heavy financial and legal consequences, but also a negative impact on the public image.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

As proof, it is estimated that following a cyberattack involving a massive loss of data, 80% of companies go bankrupt within the following twelve months! (Hiscox Insurance, 2021<\/a>)<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, when a cyberattack occurs, in addition to the direct costs of the cyberattack, it will be necessary to take into account the time spent to restore the computer network, and the loss of turnover that will result.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, once the case is made public (which is provided for by Bill 25), there is a good chance that your company will lose trust and credibility in the eyes of public opinion. This is what happened during the data leak of 2.9 million Desjardins members in 2019 (L\u2019actualit\u00e9, 2019<\/a>).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are ways to minimize the risk of this happening to you. The goal is to strengthen your security barriers to entry (for external threats), but also to control access to data internally (for internal threats). Let’s take a look at the different options available to you.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

How to protect yourself from a cyberattack<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

To protect yourself against a cyberattack, prevention will be much less costly and laborious than remediation.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

To do this, we advise you to be accompanied by cybersecurity professionals to help you strengthen your security posture by setting up adequate systems.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
