Canadian threat landscape: Top cyber threats in the past year
Ransomware
Ransomware was one of the biggest cyber threats to Canadian organizations, driven in part by the growth of affiliate programs and ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) schemes.
High-profile vulnerabilities
Both the volume and complexity of attacks targeting cyber vulnerabilities increased. Zero-day vulnerabilities were especially concerning to Canadian organizations.
DDos attacks
A growing number of attacks included a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) component aimed at overwhelming an organization’s servers, making sites and services inaccessible to legitimate visitors and users.
State-sponsored threat actors
The war between Russia and Ukraine and its NATO allies, including Canada, significantly heightened the risk of state-sponsored cyber threats, particularly for companies in the critical infrastructure sector.
Phishing
There was a steady rise in the number of business email compromise attacks and phishing campaigns aimed at Canadian organizations.
Cloud vulnerabilities and gaps
As Canadian companies continued to embrace cloud solutions, threat actors increasingly focused on identifying and exploiting unexpected or unknown vulnerabilities and gaps in their cyber defences.
