Today, CDW Canada launched its annual Canadian Cybersecurity Study, Cybersecurity in Focus 2024: Trends, Threats and Strategies, which revealed that declining IT budgets coupled with a rise in cyberattackers leveraging AI increasing successful cyberattacks, putting Canadian organizations at increased risk. This year’s findings show a sharp 50 percent reduction in IT budgets since 2023, yet successful cyber incidents have surged by 26 per cent, highlighting a critical vulnerability gap.
The report delves into how these budget cuts are leading to “breach fatigue” among IT security teams. With fewer resources, teams are overextended, which not only reduces their effectiveness in managing threats but also impacts their ability to respond to incidents promptly and effectively. This scenario is creating an environment where organizations are more susceptible to cyberattacks.
