Comment renforcer ma résilience face à l’évolution constante des cybermenaces?
La cybersécurité représente aujourd’hui le risque à la croissance la plus rapide et, sans doute, le plus déterminant pour les entreprises canadiennes. Malgré plus de 11 milliards de dollars investis l’an dernier, 44 % des entreprises ont tout de même subi une cyberattaque, avec un coût moyen d’environ 7 millions de dollars. Pour les dirigeants, la question n’est plus de savoir si leur entreprise est sécurisée, mais où elle est exposée et dans quelle mesure elle est préparée à limiter les dégâts.
Dans cet épisode de Tour complet, Graeme Hepworth, chef de la gestion des risques à la Banque Royale du Canada, et Amir Belkhelladi, leader national de la cybersécurité chez Deloitte Canada, explorent les enjeux de la cybersécurité d’aujourd’hui. Des attaques propulsées par l’IA aux vulnérabilités de la chaîne d’approvisionnement, ils partagent des stratégies concrètes pour renforcer les défenses, améliorer la collaboration et la résilience dans un environnement où chaque système est une cible potentielle.
Écoutez pour découvrir comment identifier rapidement les expositions au risque – et comment se relever plus vite lors d’une cyberattaque.
