The award-winning Canadian firm has opened its first operation in London to support its growing transatlantic client base and offer its outstanding Detection, Response, and Recovery Services and Managed Security Services (MSS) to the UK market.
Cybercrime warnings
A recent warning from the National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) on the growing threat of state-sponsored attacks targeting critical infrastructure highlights the predominance of cybercrime.
This comes in addition to the NCSC renewing its warning about the acute threat of ransomware in the UK. With cybersecurity breaches costing companies an average of nearly £3.5M,1 and with more than one-third of CISOs reporting a board-level concern about the impact of downtime after a cyber attack,2 Detection, Response, and Recovery Services and MSS are fundamental to protecting UK businesses and assets.
