One particularly concerning emerging trend, according to Information and Privacy Commissioner Patricia Kosseim, is cyberattacks against municipalities, universities, school boards and hospitals.
Last January, the LCBO had “malicious code” embedded on their website that compromised customer data, leading some to monitor their transactions for suspicious activity.
In the fall, Toronto Public Library was hit by a cyberattack that saw data from current and past employees stolen, with the attack itself taking down many online and in-person services until January.
In the next year, Fortinet predicts criminals will turn toward artificial intelligence to help refine their tactics, recruit insiders from organizations to help breach defences, and take advantage of large geopolitical events like elections and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Because health-care providers are mandated to report data breaches, Kosseim says the information and privacy office can track the increase in attacks.
At Ernst and Young, the multinational professional services company where Yogen Appalraju is cybersecurity lead, he says, “We always say, ‘it’s not a matter of if, but when someone experiences an incident.’”
