October is Cybersecurity Month and the Canadian CyberSecurity Conference, MapleSEC, is running October 5 – 7.

On Monday, Terry Cutler of Cyology Labs in Montreal shared a case study of a major Canadian company hit by ransomware.

“IT guys are always asking for money,” said Cutler. “Upper management never believes the organization will be hacked. I can promise you once ransomware occurs, the budget magically shows up because they don’t want to go through this again.”
