A new report has found that the number of successful cybersecurity breaches has more than doubled for Canadian businesses in the past year, despite a downward trend in cyberattacks overall.
The survey took place between December 2022 and January 2023. A spokesperson for the company confirmed that respondents were asked how many incidents occurred at their organization in the last 12 months, up until the last survey that was done between December 2021 and January 2022.
Infiltrations, or unauthorized access but where no data is removed, also increased to 29 from 11 over the same period. CDW Canada says this is an indication that "threat detection and response is falling short amidst an increasingly challenging IT environment." Twenty-three per cent of the responding organizations were defined as small or having between 15 and 249 full-time employees in Canada, 51 per cent as medium-large or having between 250 and 4,999 employees, and 26 per cent as enterprise meaning they have 5,000 or more full-time employees in Canada.Looking across industries, the government and education sectors had the highest number of successful breaches at 13 and nine per cent, respectively.
With the average recovery time being 25.6 days, CDW Canada says this adds up to about 48 days in total to manage an incident.
