Protect your team, data and business from cyber threats
Small businesses across Quebec and Canada are the primary target of cybercriminals. A single attack can paralyze your operations, compromise your customer data, and expose you to legal liability.
Why this path matters to you
These situations happen every week in small businesses like yours.
Fraudulent CEO email
An email, supposedly from your CEO, requests an urgent bank transfer. The address looks legitimate. Employees have transferred tens of thousands of dollars before realizing it was a scam.
Ransomware in production
Monday morning, no computer will start. Your files are encrypted, a $45,000 ransom is demanded. Without an isolated backup, your choice is to pay or lose everything — and your business is paralyzed.
Customer data leak
A customer database falls into criminals' hands. Under Quebec's Law 25, you are required to report the incident and notify every affected individual — with the legal and reputational consequences that entails.
What your team will learn
-
Recognize spear phishing attempts — including Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks that specifically target small businesses.
-
Secure company accounts and access — strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and privileged access management.
-
Protect customer data and avoid breaches — Law 25 compliance, encryption, 3-2-1 backups, and secure handling of personal information.
-
Secure remote work and remote access — VPN, personal devices at work (BYOD), and clear policies for hybrid teams.
-
Respond effectively to an incident — who to contact, what steps to follow, how to minimize damage and meet Quebec's legal obligations.
Law 25 note: Since September 2023, Quebec's Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information (Law 25) imposes strict obligations on Quebec businesses: designating a privacy officer, reporting incidents, and honoring individual rights over their data. This path prepares you for these requirements.
