Sheena Barnett, Vice President of Management, Cyber, and Professional at NFP Canada, shares expert insights on building cyber resilience for Canadian SMEs. She highlights how AI enables cybercriminals to carry out highly convincing phishing and deepfake attacks, making traditional detection ineffective. Canadian SMEs face gaps in cyber readiness, such as underestimated data visibility, over-reliance on multi-factor authentication, untested incident response plans, and unclear cyber insurance coverage. Sheena advises practical steps including regular backup testing, timely software updates, payment verification protocols, phishing awareness training, and incorporating cyber insurance for expert support. She emphasizes fostering a proactive culture of cyber readiness and treating cyber risk as an ongoing operational priority to future-proof SME operations.
