Data protection involves having a set of processes and systems designed to safeguard digital data such as customer payment details, protected health records, intellectual property, or any information specified by compliance regulations.

But while data protection is important for businesses of all sizes, small businesses like yours often have fewer resources and staff to dedicate to data security.

The internet is a vast and ever-changing place, and as technology advances, so do the ways in which cybercriminals exploit it. In recent years, we have seen cybercrime grow consistently and exponentially, with experts predicting that it will become a 13.8 trillion CAD (10.5 trillion USD) industry by 2025.

That forecast is fast gaining ground as cybercrooks continue to be relentless in their pursuit to trick users, breach security, and steal or compromise data.
