The figures speak for themselves: of the 154 Quebec SMEs surveyed by KPMG as part of a recent study, over 60% admitted to having been the target
of cyber-attacks in the past year.
This finding is all the more alarming given that cybercriminals are now using increasingly sophisticated technologies, and that threats are targeting all facets of companies' activities, whatever their size and sector of activity.
Increasing prevention and reinforcing IT security have thus become true operational imperatives for businesses.
Despite the magnitude of these issues, and given these new paradigms, the under-representation of women in cybersecurity remains a major concern as it raises key questions about the diversity of perspectives, talents and skills needed to respond effectively to today's challenges.
It also demonstrates the urgent need to break down stereotypes in order to promote and recognize the role of women in this constantly evolving field.
