Cyber Sense SMB Cyber Security Program

Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a business-critical concern. Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), along with not-for-profits, face increasing compliance requirements, reputational risks, and financial threats from cyber incidents. Cyber crimes can have devastating impacts for small businesses, with the average cost of a cyber incident around $46,000

 

When it comes to cyber security, we need to be strong no matte how large or small the business is.

Our government is committed to working with businesses of all sizes to build our cyber resilience as a nation.
